May 21, 2016 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

Getting business done in the midst of a full week getting ready to head off to New Orleans! Sunday - I played the game of getting in my 2 hours, however possible.

Got in 1:05 on the trainer downstairs. After dropping my son off at his birthday party and before showering to meet my friends in the burbs for a late lunch, I got in the other Continue Reading

Getting used to this. Making adjustments. Fitting in a lot of family and other fun stuff on the weekend before it gets too hectic. Sunday - Off!

Sunday -Bike 2 hours, did 1.5 hour class + 30 minutes. = 120 minutes Monday - Dim day from grief, in bed until 2pm. Took bike in for 30-hour check-up and to get total SPD pedals.
