record setting

The heat has been record setting. I've been able to roll with it so far. I come back from my runs, pull my running clothes off and plop them in the laundry basket like a sack of potatoes, I look like a drowned rat when running, and my bathroom smells like a gym locker, but otherwise I've been doing just fine.

Last night I had a great ride. My legs were pretty tired on the run Sunday, but it is amazing what a day of can do. After I learned I should feel like a spring chicken after the weekend, I was not believing it, "really, do spring chickens have feet made of cement?" Last night spring chicken's feet were made of springs. I felt super charged and had a great ride. I even rode a little with a girl who asked me what team I rode for. "I ride for myself" I told her. She laughed. Hard to believe we will be on the road to our race in less than three weeks, but I'm getting exciting and am ready.
