I have taken it a bit easy that last week and a half or so. I had access to a car for work, we had a long weekend up here in Canada and I was just being a bit lazy.

This week started on Tuesday with a very windy morning that continued to yesterday and I had some really tough riding.

This morning I got up and started getting ready for work. My wife asked me what all the grunting was about and I realized that I was having real trouble with sore legs. I had not noticed it yesterday but the riding in the wind after taking it easy had done it’s job to put my legs through the ringer.

I took a couple aspirin this morning, hopped on the bike to a breezeless  dark start to my ride and by the time I arrived I felt great.

I know that sometimes we get sore from our exercise and although I am not much of a fan of any pills other than regular supplements I sometimes find that aspirin will do the trick to make me feel better. If there is anything that will kill motivation quickly it is sore muscles. When you have sore muscles your body will come up with almost any excuse not to do what you need to.
