Vacation Days 3-4!

Yesterday morning I was very tired, and decided not to go out on the road bike. Instead, I had breakfast; and about 6:30 I pedaled the hybrid to the supermarket.

I wanted to go early for several reasons: to beat the heat; to beat the crowds; to beat the heaviest traffic. Besides that, I wanted to go to the Salvation Army thrift store. It\’s possible to find nice clothing there; and I needed a new pair of  (non-cycling) shorts. I found some, too, and they cost under three dollars!

This morning I was a real sluggard. I didn\’t even get up until 8:20! After I had something to eat, I went out on the road bike; and I felt sluggish on the bike, too.

It was 9:00 by the time I began my ride, and already hot. Perhaps because I hadn\’t yet had any caffeine, I began to feel headachy after only three miles or so. I had to stop and eat a \”goo\”. It also felt like I had a headwind, both outbound and coming back home.

I was glad to get back home and cool off. I\’m also glad I was home before the T-storm started to fire up. Vacation days 3-4 are already over, but I can be glad that I still have one day of vacation left!
