Happy Knees!
La la, rode 35.3 miles today and not a peep from either of my knees. They felt great, and even asked for 50 miles. Too bad my legs felt like ass. That probably had something to do with the dim sum I ate before the ride; it left my stomach feeling grumpy, and when the stomach is grumpy, the rest of the body usually follows. Nonetheless, we did consider going for the half century toward the end of the ride. Although I figured I could probably squeeze another 15 miles out of my legs, we didn't have enough sun left to cover that distance. Just as well; I'd eaten half an energy bar during the ride and my stomach wasn't liking it. We picked up some cheese at Andronico's and headed home.
Good news! I set a new weekly distance record: 72.4 miles. It was actually pretty easy, since I commuted by bike to and from Milpitas on Monday, which started my week off with 26 miles. Too bad I'm losing my bike commute starting next week; San Ramon is too far to ride. (At least for now...)
When I got home, I treated myself with some recovery Ovaltine. I picked some up today on a rare visit to 99 Ranch. The jar's got Chinese characters on it and everything. Awh wah teen, mmm goy!
