My legs felt like mush again this morning. Sometimes they just do, and I don’t always know why. It\’s part of being a cyclist, I suppose.

I didn\’t do a long or tough workout yesterday morning. I felt unaccountably sleepy on the bike this morning, too; and my lethargy resulted in a ride less than eight miles long. It’s just one of those days, I guess.

You know those rides when you seem to have a headwind both going out and coming back home? That was the case this morning; and I didn\’t seem to have the energy to work hard against it. I had a good tailwind only for the last mile before the end.

At least it wasn\’t raining today; and the temperature was in the mid-40s. That\’s relatively bearable after the late-February cold snap. The wind chill during those miserable days was often well below freezing!

I also had to keep a careful eye on the time, because I had a COVID test scheduled for 8 am. After that, I had to go to work.

Tomorrow I work from home; and that means I\’ll have time to ride to the supermarket before I clock in. It will be another chilly morning, and I\’ll have to wear several layers. Maybe I\’ll skip the road bike. I can put the panniers and trunk on the hybrid; ride some laps around the park; and then head for the store. This one opens at 6 am, so I\’ll be able to get home in plenty of time.

My legs continued to feel tired all day today, so I think I better take it easy tomorrow. I don\’t want my poor limbs to feel like mush again.
