What Ails My Legs?
Cycling is for ALL legs!
What ails my legs today? They feel stiff and tired; and I thought that there didn’t seem to be a ready explanation for it. Maybe my legs need a good dose of “Jensie”!
My mileage is about as usual; and this week I’m not doing any “force” work. This morning I did about 90 seconds total of pushing the pace; and that shouldn’t wear me out so much. I rode to work; and that’s nothing unusual.
While I was riding home I felt very tired; but not until about 7 pm did I figure out what ails my legs. I take medication for hypotension; and this morning I forgot to take it! No wonder I felt tired and limp at work; and now I know why I felt almost too tired to ride back home this afternoon. I also forgot my evening dose, because I plunged right into work on my web site.
In fact, I was so tired this afternoon that I was considering skipping the trip to the salvage store tomorrow; and sleeping in. After a glance at the weather forecast, I’m reconsidering that plan. It looks like tomorrow morning will be OK; but Sunday’s outlook is a stormy one.
I want to get in some riding tomorrow in case I can’t on Sunday; and if the weather does permit a Sunday ride, so much the better! Of course I’m chipping away at my Love to Ride goal; and every little ride helps!
