    Thank you to everyone for the kind words. Feeling better. My outlet has always been exercising and I’d love to run out the sadness but I have to stay smart and not injure myself as I can tell I’m pushing things. My husband may not come to Boston if Buddy is too sick. We don’t feel right putting him in a kennel.

    I am still optimistic as he seems to feel fine. Great appetite (just like me!!!) Fingers crossed that we get some good news. Mostly, I don’t want him to suffer. My dad has lived with lymphoma for over 30 years, still doing well, but my father in law suffered terribly and is no longer with us. #fuckcancer

    Got a short 9 mile ride in on the peloton after skiing today. Going to try to run tomorrow after I take Buddy for his blood work.

    @pridesabtch I’m so glad your puppy is doing well! They are so special, aren’t they?

    Just finished today's ride, chasing the legendary Fabian Cancellara and failing miserably to match his time on the Richmond UCI Worlds course LOL (I missed his time by 3 minutes and 58 seconds... which is pretty much an eternity when it comes to cycling and racing). Oh well! I'm still proud of how I did!

    I've yet to figure out why I keep trying to race Fabian Cancellara. 3.1 w/kg for an hour straight isn't enough LOL - but I did finish the course in under an hour, so I'm damned proud of myself. Plus my knee doesn't want to explode, so bonus!

    There was this tiny part of me that almost rode outside today! And then I didn't... but it's almost time.
    I am relatively new outdoor cyclist and it's not as carefree for me as riding the Peloton. Something to work on.

    Today was a good day to ride indoors (had a lot of housework to get done and a lawn to water). :smile: Did ride outside to escort the munchkin to school, though! Perhaps tomorrow or Thursday will see a longer outdoor ride!

    I’m the same way. I used to do triathlons and the bike always made me nervous. I can’t change a flat tire very well and I don’t like traffic. My husband wants to buy bikes for here in Colorado. We have lots of protected bike paths and he CAN change a flat so I’m looking forward to it.

    Had a great weekend with my daughter. Drank too much but still finished third in my age group at our 5 mile run and did a Sunday morning Soulcycle (maybe 16 miles? It was an hour class). This despite the wine with dinner, the blisters from walking around downtown Denver in dress shoes (we went to the symphony) AND the time change.

    Did pick up a brief stomach bug and honestly, feeling a bit overtrained. I had initially planned on running a marathon in October as well so I’ve been in marathon training mode since June 2021 and my body was screaming at me last night after my 8.5 yesterday. I think I’m going to take a few days off. Boston is in 33 days. Afterwards, I’m going to take a couple weeks of of running and bike instead. Maybe I’ll make a dent in this challenge. I have no idea how much I’ve ridden so far, but at least Peloton keeps track of those rides so I can get pretty close.

    Off to go ski a few runs with my husband. It was 50 degrees yesterday so ski days are almost over.

    Everyone have a great week!

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one @SavageMrsMoose .. hope you had a great ski day!
    I did go out very briefly on my bike today to test it out... I'm not feeling super well myself so it was just a jaunt around the block really, but I'll add it here!

    3rd ride of the week. It's St Patrick's Day so going to watch the parades with my sister. I'm not a huge fan of parades but it's the 1st in two years with all the Covid and lockdowns so the atmosphere should be good.
