Sunset Limited sounds like a passenger rail service. Today, it meant an evening ride for me.

Yesterday my prescription refill finally came in. With my med I could sleep again; but I\’m not surprised that I was too tired and sleepy today to try a morning ride. I decided to ride after work.

During the day the wind strengthened. At 5 am it was 5-6 mph. By 4:30 pm it was blowing at 12-13 mph; and of course it was a headwind on the way home! While I had the tailwind, I made one effort to see just how fast I could get. I hit a max speed of 23.92 mph!

One day maybe I\’ll finally get up to 25 mph for a moment. And do you know what? I\’ll still feel slow! \”It never gets easier…\”

I used my lights, as usual for any ride; day or night. I even wore my wrist blinkie, in case my game of Sunset Limited ran past sunset. I got home before dark, but it never hurts to be prepared.

This morning I had another session with the nutritionist. She says I\’m doing well as far as meal planning goes; but we need to adjust my calorie intake — can you believe, UPwards? I\’ve lost weight, and I needed to; but I don\’t need to lose any more. Incidentally, I\’m glad I\’m not a pro cyclist who has to worry about making weight.

That reminds me: last night I cooked up a new creation. It\’s good cold or warm.

Oh, now I\’ve made myself hungry. Time for hummus and raw carrot!
