Expected

Today was what I had expected last week when I got back on the bike. I had no energy, no breath, no endurance and a lot of sweat and gunk rolling off of me. I only made a little over 5 miles today. I am exhausted and know that tomorrow will be better. A lay off kills you and fast. I can't believe how fast I have degenerated. I rode plateau at 14 today. I just couldn't catch my breath. I would pause and pedal and get caught up and go again but as I tried that the second time, it clock zeroed out and I just said fine, I am done so I was and am. I don't even want to consider push-up or sit-ups later today... Anyway, things are getting back to normal. I missed a great day to be in the yard on Saturday by going to meetings with Rotary and then shopping. Have I mentioned I hate shopping? ANyway, it was for a great cause so at least that part wasn't too bad. Guys reading, here is a hint: Take a book and read and it is not as bad as just sitting there... Church was great yesterday. Some dear friends had returned from Japan on a mission and talked to us about their experiences. It was wonderful. I really like church. It is always at least what is expected if not better. I guess that is the way it is in life, if we go in with a positive attitude, do what we are supposed to do, we will always get at least what, if not more, than we expected.
