Waging War...

So alas, I did not get out on a long ride this past weekend. I woke up with a sore throat on Friday, and it progressed into a full on cold as the day went on. So this weekend my body "waged war" on the interloper, draining me of all energy.

I did make it to both Spinning classes last week, and I attended Yoga tonight (despite still feeling pretty drained), so I am at least keeping up with training. This Sunday I don't have plans for any organized ride, but I'm planning to get out for at least 30 miles this week. I get to try out my new iHome for my iPod; gift from my momma! The MS150 (and most organized rides) don't allow you wear headphones on the rides, for safety reasons. But I've seen a lot of people with speaker systems on their bikes, and evidently those are allowed! So now I can listen to some tunes while I'm out cruisin'. =)

Other exciting news! My sister is coming down to bike the MS150 with me! Exciting stuff! So now I won't have to ride alone, and we'll have some good tunes to listen to...despite being sick all weekend, I would have to say the week ended on a fairly high note!

As for my sister, she needs to raise the $400 minimum pledge, so if you were thinking about donating to me, it would be better for you to donate to her. Her page is: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/TXHBikeEvents?px=7833558&pg=personal&fr_id=12962

Thanks!
