last day

This blog will go silent from October 29-November 8

Today is my last day before the trip. My mind is going a million miles a minute thinking about things I gotta do, things I wanna do, things I should do before I leave. I had lots of excuses for not riding in this morning, but the fact that my mind races seemed to be an excellent argument for doing it anyway.

So I did ride in. Maybe this is becoming a habit! It's overcast and chilly, but not an unpleasant day to ride. Usually, when I'm riding or walking, the talkative part of my brain lets up, and I can just watch and listen, which is why exercise outside is so soothing. This morning, the talkative part was especially manic. Oh well. I felt really good, really strong, and faster. And, I only had two SUVs try to turn into me!

In other important matters, can anyone recommend a walker-friendly marathon in January? I had thinking about doing the Las Vegas, but it looks distinctly un-slow-walker friendly. A cool destination is a plus.

Have a great weekend/week!
