So Lois asked for the Saturday update... but I have been holding off on this because I'm feeling so weird. I think it can be best put that I have been feeling like a pregnant woman (mild nausea, indigestion and constipation - sorry for the icky details)... and I have never been pregnant so I am guessing here... and with sore legs.
I got up yesterday and felt decent enough to do the 30 mile ride. Lois neglected to tell me that this was the hilliest route on Team Velocity's list... or she tried but I wasn't paying attention. I hung in with the group on the climbs and didn't even finish last ;-) But last night and today, my legs are achy. I'm feeling lethargic but honestly, I can't tell if that is my usually laziness setting in or what...
Everything changes for me hour to hour. Right now, other than tired legs, i have no nausea, which is awesome.
One other thing... if you know me... you know I am direct so forgive this piece of honesty here ... but I have also held off posting because I don't want to come across as a whiner... everyone is telling me to be strong...but if you really know me... I am strong! So, don't feel bad for telling me to be strong... but please don't remind me to be strong :-)
Thanks again to everyone for your notes and emails. They have been helpful and they make me feel good.

Mo, you totally dropped me on the hills. Maybe you weren't first this time but you were far from "at least I wasn't last". And I didn't know about the second set of hills after Serrano. Or I would've told you. Folks, the ride was a killah.
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen -- I was thinking about you this weekend and am glad you're feeling decent. I'm also glad to hear you were able to go for a bike ride. Me on a bike going up never ends well, and I would have been walking up the first hill. :-) Hugs from Ali and me!

Dear Aunti Nini,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about coming in last. Mommy is always the last to get up a hill, although she's always on time for things, unlike daddy.
I look forward to meeting you. It looks like I'll have someone else to look up to other than mommy. She's OK, but can be a pain sometimes.
Love your niece Chloe
Auntie Nini,
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with coming in last. My mom is no Olympic athlete, so it's the effort that counts. You kick her butt all the time on the bikes.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you soon. It looks like I'll have someone else to look up to other than mommy.
She can be a bit of a drag sometimes.
Hey, do you know why dad calls her mum?
Love your niece Chloe.
Hey Mo.

Keep up the good spirits and hang in there..everyone that knows yah..knows what a tough cookie you are !!!
Sending yah the bestest of wishes and hope !!!
Lates,

hi Mo,
ReplyDeleteIts hard to imagine what you're going through right now but I know you will get through this. To know you is to not believe otherwise. I'm glad you have this blog and sharing your experience.
your symptoms do sound familiar....except I couldn't bike anywhere near 30 miles right now! Great to hear you made it to the ride with Lois (i doubt you were anywhere near last!).
