Good News and Bad News

Today is a beautiful day to take a long ride here on the Oregon Coast - sunny with little wind; that's the good news.  The bad news is that I pulled a muscle in my back yesterday right before I was planning a short ride and could not ride today or yesterday.  I am really disappointed as I had hoped to ride both days with my friend Gale, and it is rare to have such beautiful days in February.  I'm going to take my dog for a walk instead to at least get some exercise.  In a few days I'm going to start posting my training results on a regular basis; hopefully this will inspire me to get out even in bad weather.  August really isn't that far off and I need to get my training in full gear.
