Always clamed in our house on weekend.

It's a sunny and bright gorgeous day on Sunday.  I feel like going somewhere to ride, but not.

Just went riding on our community roads. 
"Oh?! Is that Kanzan cherry tree blossom?"  I stopped my bike, and looked so enviously.😲  

Our small Kanzan tree doesn't have any flowers blooming yet.😣

Anyway we finished a 60 minute ride at relatively slow speed.  Because while I was riding, the back of my right calf got slightly crampy.  When I tried to sit on a chair at home, I noticed that my neck got really stiff.  Now I'm sitting in front of computer, my feet and ankles started getting achy.

But we did it today. That's what counts.

Freezing?!!

It was freezing cold this morning.  32F

The temperature didn't go up so much, but we decided to walk after a little stretching exercise.  Because the delayed storm might come soon from tomorrow, we heard on TV.
I dressed warm and put on my favorite knitted cap which my dear friend gave me.  

But I had a hard time to breath, because of polluted air by burning fire places or cold air, I'm not sure which.  I got tired and started having pain in my small back, so the walking lasted less than 30 minutes;  I didn't want to push myself.  

30 minutes exercise after walking eased my pain.  When we checked the temperature this afternoon, it was over 50 F, so we went out for bicycling.  That was quite nice riding in the afternoon until the air got colder and colder, and my left calf started getting crampy. 

All TV channels are warning of the storm coming with high winds and rain tomorrow.  

Familiar pain

Yesterday I rode to check how my Novara J. was fixed by Mr. WhP.  That was excellent, especially after pumping up the tires, the ride was so smooth and comfortable.

So I attempted to ride with as fast a cadence as possible after warming up, and almost made the new record to finish 5 miles within a half an hour (instead of 40 minutes as usual)!   

Afterwards I was very comfortable and energetic, but later I got butt and knees heaviness and pain.  So just before going to bed, I did an exercise with TV's "Sit and be Fit".  Felt much better.

And this morning I woke up with a cramp in my left calf, then back pain.

Ate Breakfast, worked in the garden, now feel much better.  Still my shoulders are stiff though.
For my diet I should ride at least a little bit, but not so fast today.  But I'm not sure if I will do, because my spirit wants to have a rest today.  

 
 

Because of my age? I was not quite recovered.

I was not quite recovered from yesterday.  I didn't have enough energy today, when I started riding, I felt so.  Then my right calf almost started cramping.   I changed right hand gear smaller to ease pedaling.

Yesterday I lifted up my saddle to 3.5" from 2.5"  Now I have to tilt the bicycle to reach to the ground.  I couldn't stop smoothly yesterday, but I finally got a beautiful and safe stop.

Tomorrow I need to try beautiful start without sitting at the beginning.  I hope I will finish my training completely about stop and restart tomorrow.
