Training Log Archive: Leanimal

Absolutely perfect fall day for a ride up to Col de Leschaux. Clear, crisp air with stunning views all around. I took it a little easy since I haven't been feeling well. Had a banana at the top and then turned around to come back down. It's been about 6 weeks since I have been on my road bike and I was more or a wuss on the way down than normal. Two guys who looked like pros (most people do around here) went by me going about 80kph. Scared the shit out of me because I didn't hear them coming. Got lightheaded and shaky on the way back from the vieille ville and felt slightly better when I ate.

When I picked Weeanimal up at school she said two girls were pushing her. I got their names and they won't know what hit them on the playground on Monday! Broke my heart to hear her say that.

Feeling really crummy lately. Even worse than when I got back from Brazil. I have no energy and next to no motivation. Not sure what is up but it sucks. This was a "let's see if a run makes me feel better". Well physically no but mentally yes so I'll take it.

To add to the fun Weeanimal is acting like a 16 year old girl already. Phase two of the terrible twos in full effect. Let's hope they can whip her into shape at the maternelle!!!

Rainy and cool today but of course I overdressed and then the sun came out to make me look like a fool. You think I would learn.

Finally got Weeanimal settled into a morning and lunch routine at school so I can get out for some much needed exercise in the morning. I was working hard on the way up to Col des Sauts but was slower than normal. No big surprise there. I had a huge headache and didnt feel great but after a while things started to come together. Felt good to run down in the damp, cool forest after a couple of big storms lately.
