Training Day

Today's weather was cool, rain free and very windy. Perfect for riding the trails at Fort Steilacoom. I didn't ride like I was racing because there wasn't anyone around to pick me up if I went down, but I did power up the hills and crank out the rpms on the flats until my back started to act up. Riding by yourself isn't the worst thing in the world, but training alone can be if your not in the right frame of mind. So you do what you can, when you can. Three and a half (modified) laps is better than nothing and later in the day when I'm kicking back on the couch, I reflect on my day and decide I'm glad I went out. A little pain can go a long way and I hope to get out again tomorrow.
