Perfect timing too after Stage 1 of the 2010 TdF.  Anybody think Lance has a chance?  Being a geezer myself I have to pull for him. 

Newtons1st - 2010-07-06 6:23 AM I think you just had cake on your mind...

bzgl40 - 2010-07-06 10:46 AM Yum, cake.  I like cake.  What is your favoriate cake Betsy?  I'll make one in your honour.  Don't worry, I'll have a piece for you.

Betsy0706 - 2010-07-06 8:59 AM Don't really have a favorite cake but I am a sucker for ice cream.  So you can have ice cream in my honor - your choice.  

bzgl40 - 2010-07-06 4:49 PM Anyone else have this problem?  I am like 100% more active then any of my friends (that I physically see) so I am debating with one of my friends about whether or not I should do my ride tonight or not.  I switched my schedule up a bit this week due to the pool being closed yesterday, plus I had very little sleep so I am trying to decide if I am being lazy in trying to decide to ride tonight or not or if I am really as tired as I feel.  It's affecting work as well as I have done nothing really all that productive today.  But since my friends can't really wrap their heads around my workouts they are always rest, you need rest, your not lazy.  ALWAYS.  But no, sometimes am lazy and really need to talk my arse into heading out that door.  My friends are useless in assisting me in pushing myself.  It's not that they are not supportive, I have awesome supportive friends, it's just that they don't get it.

That's why this group is so awesome.  You all get it.

A wise friend recently reminded me this is a hobby.  When it rules your life you aren't looking at it clearly any longer.  Compromise has to exist between training, work, friends / family and relaxation / recovery. This is supposed to be fun - it doesn't pay the bills for us.   I think we all get carried away with training at times and most of us get caught up in life and blow training off for a bit.  I think we all work towards the proper balance.  Find friends that "get it".  At least a few - it makes things easier.

If you are sleepy, drink some caffeine and go ride!  If you are worn out - rest /recover.

just my 2 cents.
