Ok, so if you have had a bad day, and don't want to hear anyone else complain about anything, now is the time to stop reading. This angry cat pretty much captures how I'm feeling about all this right now. WHAT IS UP WITH THE WIND?!?!??!!!! 23mph today. Not all day. It was only about 10 around noon. BUT, when I want to ride, 23. My knee is killing me from yesterday's attempt at fighting 27 mph wind. So, what did I do??? I went to the gym. Well, that's boring now. I didn't last long before I got bored. I didn't want to go in the first place, but my "coach" Kevin made me get up and go. And for what?! 15 minutes of boredom, and aggrivation of my knee.
Why the knee, you may ask? I was in a motorcycle accident back in 1997 in Honduras. Had surgery in Houston to place 3 screws and replace ACL with my hamstring, which is now only 3/4 where it should be behind the thigh, and 1/4 as a stand-in ACL. Should I have kept it in shape all these years? Probably, but I didn't, so this is where I am.
I'm angry this isn't working out the way I wanted it to the past week. I haven't had what I would consider consistant rides since I couldn't pull it together last Monday night. It's like there's always something trying to get in the way. Two long rides, two short rides. I had hoped to be pushing 20 mile rides by now. I've made it to 18, but I want to keep going. It's supposed to be windy for at least the next two days, then rain with lightening for the three days after that. Arg!!! I'm very upset about all this. I haven't figured out what to do about it yet, and that frustrates me more. Usually, this is when I start eating, but I'm out of cake. Church group gobbled it up. I guess that was the point. Actually, I'm just so disappointed I want to go to bed now. It is 10pm. Not that outrageous a thought...
And just as an interesting fact, now that I'm back home from the stupid gym "work-out" winds are down to 8 mph...sigh...
