Happy happy Friday.....

No ride on zwift today....have rode on zwift 19 days in a row...just seeing how many days I could..but this morning..when I woke up to the sound of the alarm on cell phone...I knew 24 hours between rides...just wasn’t gonna get it today...the want to continue my streak was there...but I knew yesterday...that my body needed a longer rest period...better to listen to my body then to be off longer....

The little bit of snow we got has almost melted...sun has been helping with that..in the 40s today...and more sun....

Having time...and energy...do some cleaning on road bike..and cleaning the chain...was getting pretty greasy from all the riding..and to tired to clean it the way it needs to be...air up front tire..even though it’s on trainer...has slow leak in tube...sure I could fix it..but....being an inside bike...why mess with it...

Things I’ve learned from 19 days of steady riding...
Little voice is quiet..
Once you get past the first week....it becomes a habit...
Riding in zone 1..or recovery zone..helps you to recover faster...
Looked back thru my stats on rides...last few had been higher in zone 3...tempo
Strayed from my eating habits..had to..was burning more calories even after the ride
Riding consecutive days..you get in a grove..not sure if it’s good or bad..but the days/workouts...were a blur

A rest day today...well..that’s the plan....if only I take it...

Have a fantastic day...
