Howdy folks,

Sorry this is going up so late, but watch – I’m going to turn my inability to get this done into a workout theme…

Life interfered today, and I just couldn’t get home at a reasonable hour to get the workout written up.

No

Big

Deal.

This time of year, you can miss a workout if things go sideways for you.

Don’t sweat it.

Missing a day here and there isn’t going to kill you.

Heck, the weather in Seattle was pretty miserable today, for the first time in about six weeks. I rode on the trainer today, but I could barely make myself do it.

If anybody I’m coaching tells me they decided not to ride today, I’m pretty OK with it.

Mental health day.

In fact, that’s the Workout Of The Day today –

Mental Health Day –

Get on your bike.

Do whatever the hell you feel like doing.

Ride hard, ride easy, race… whatever. Whatever feels good, do it. Have fun.

Just ride.

No time limit, no suggested tempo, just ride for the fun of it.

If the weather is crummy, think about taking the cross bike out and finding some mud.

Beautiful day? Go for a long ride.

Racing today? Sweet. Tear it up.

Feeling gassed? Spin for an hour. Go home and take a nap when you’re done.

Recharge a little bit today, work on the fun factor a little bit.

Training isn’t always fun. Today, do whatever it takes to make sure it is.

G’night,

M
