The beatings will continue until morale improves

Whew... THIS was a hard week. A very hard gym session on Monday that left me struggling to walk, let alone climb steps later in the week, recovery ride on Tuesday followed by a tough sprint day on Wednesday with my legs still tweaked from three days prior (despite living in my SKINS recovery tights), and moderately hard rides on Thursday and Saturday with a hill attack workout in between them on Friday. Today, Sunday, I am completely wiped out... very tired. I was going to do an easy spin on the rollers for an hour, but my wife wound up being sick and in bed so I hung with the kids spending most of the day watching Stage 1 of the Paris-Nice bike race on NBC Sports, which was probably for the better. I wanted to just fall asleep all day.

Fortunately, the upcoming week is a "rest week" in the grand scheme of things, so there will be a lot of easy spinning, recovery, and muscle rebuilding. Early bedtime for my wife and I (she is feeling better now) tonight as we both recover. As for my morale, feeling pretty good... but then again I liked the beatings. :-)
