missed opportunities.

Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 in Training

I hate it when I miss a chance to ride, hate it I tell ya. It hangs on me all day, like this cloud that continues to shower guilt on me all day. I can’t shake it either. I woke this morning and looked out the window, pouring down rain. Ahh, no thanks I say, and lay back down for 20 minutes. Of course by the time I got ready, and was getting into the car to drive to work, the rain had subsided. It’s been fairly dry all day. Pissed I am.

I’m hoping to commute tomorrow; I will have to drive on Thursday for some errands for work so my only days of potential riding this work week may be commuting Wednesday and Friday, Ugh. I won’t get to ride on Sunday either because of Easter. I had better make up for this on Saturday.

I’m very concerned, I had just come out of my slump and I could have a disastrous week of very little riding ahead. I don’t want to lose fitness, The second commandment of training? consistency!

I feel panic, like I need to go climb the torture 10K and abuse myself to make up for a lost ride…….I’m sure there are lots of athletes that miss workouts from time to time, but that doesn’t make it any easier………..-Jim-
