Training Log Archive: Sandy

Futzed around all morning and couldn't get myself out the door. Finally decided that I could at least get around the meadow loop and if I was feeling like more I could always go around again. I think lowering my expectations for myself was useful. (I did a few minutes of weeding before starting so I deducted that time. My daffodils are getting ready to bloom!)

And while walking around the meadow loop I realized that one, the trails weren't nearly as muddy as they were on Sunday and were in pretty decent condition for biking and two, I could ride the roads over and cut in at the start of the meadow and just do that part of the trail. That sound doable or at least not scary and so I decided I would do a little mountain biking as well. I came off twice - both times trying to go around a corner and uphill over rocks at the same time. But not bad falls so I accomplished my number one goal of not injuring myself.

And I figured out how to use another one of the gears - just have to push the lever slightly again after shifting and it will fall in. But I'm still not very coordinated with shifting - can't remember which way goes harder and which way easier with which hand.
