What a day today was! I was very tired this morning, and overslept. That meant no pre-work ride.

I had to to work on-site this morning. My hybrid is still in the shop, and I had to walk. Walking seems so very slow these days! A mile isn\’t really all that far, but I felt like a snail.

Monday my workplace closed at noon because of the weather threat. I had the option to work remotely, and took it. Unfortunately I automatically went into my work-from-home timing, which meant I clocked out for lunch about 11:20. When I checked my email after I clocked back in an hour later, I saw a new email message reminding us of the noon closure.

That meant I had 45 minutes of time to make up. Doing make-up time is stressful; in fact, it wears me out. Good grief, what a day!

Hurricane Sally finally made landfall. We\’re in the clear now. Several other states weren\’t so lucky. I do wonder, though, whether the wind we\’re getting is being generated by Sally.

After I clocked out of work, I went for a short ride on the road bike. It was under nine miles, but it was very hard work. I still (!) haven\’t gotten my heart rates set for my new Garmin HR monitor, but I\’m quite sure that there were times when my HR was in the maximum range!

I checked the local weather\’s 3-day history when I got back home. The wind was 17 mph, with gusts up to 23 mph! Luckily it looks like the wind will subside a bit overnight. I\’ll see how things are tomorrow morning.
