i'm not really in the mood to blog right now so this won't be a long post because frankly i'm exhausted & still have to go read up on pigs & other farm animals! i start working with baby pigs at school tomorrow...let's hope they don't squeal too much!
last week was kind of a bust as far as bike riding was concerned. Every time i wanted to go for a ride, mother natured told me otherwise & literally rained on my parade. so i didn't really get a good ride in until Saturday. i did 30 miles. it was nice to ride by myself & see if i could actually motivate myself to go the full 15 down & back on a back road. i went into it thinking i'd do at least 10 down & back but once i got to 10, i knew i had to keep going to 15. those last 5 were the hardest but i did it! I also met a nice Mexican guy before i started my ride...we had a good conversation about biking. i don't know his actual name but let's just call him Guillermo.
I thought i drank enough water after my ride knowing very well that's what you need to do...but apparently i didn't drink enough. after a night out with friends i woke up the next morning sick as a dog! i thought i'd get better as the day went on but i just got worse & by 6pm i had to leave my nieces 1st birthday party & go home & rest. good thing my mom is nurse because she came & took care of my dying self. ok so i wasn't really dying but i sure felt like it. i spent half the night trying to break a fever & chills...i finally did. but tonight it came back so i'm back on the all liquid lifestyle of H2O, Gatorade & Sprite. being dehydrated is for the birds...i don't recommend it. i haven't been able to eat much the past couple days for fear it would reappear including my shakes so there goes that! candid i know, but oh so true.
however, i did measure today & lost 4 inches from last week. so that's a plus...i'll weigh in tomorrow.
its still up in the air on whether i'll be able to ride in the MS-150 this year...i have my large animal kennel rotation the same weekend as the ride but i might have found someone to switch with me. if not, its ok...i'm not sure i've really had the time to properly train for it this year especially now since school has started. but we'll just have to wait & see what tomorrow brings...literally i know tomorrow.
that's all i have...sorry this wasn't very entertaining but my brain isn't functioning like it should right now. so just consider this post a PSA about "Hydration."...the more you know...bing bang boom.
