Couldn't feel when it was time to rest

Since we're not working to improve speed or distance, we could ride just short distances at comfortable speed to get just right exercise.

We did ride 7 days in a row, and we both got strange fatigue all of a sudden on the night of the 7th day.  I got worse than him, with headache, dizziness, and a little fever which continued all day yesterday.

Is that from aging?  Or just a simply stupid riding plan without resting between no matter slow we rode?

I searched on the Internet.  Unfortunately there were not many articles for ordinary, old cyclists.

But some article said, older age cyclists have reduced capacity but only a little (about 1.8% per decade).  Older cyclists still do well at endurance riding, but they take longer to recover after riding.

 And I read somebody said we older people can't depend on bicycling only for healthy exercise, because we need to shake our bones by touching the ground with running or walking to avoid losing bone density.

So I'm going to make our weekly schedule which is a combination of bicycling, walking, and resting.  I  thought 2 days a week for complete resting should be right.  I need to check the weather information too.

I hope it will help us in the future.
  

Resting, resting, ....

Recently we both are getting tired deeply and can't get lid of it soon enough.  That must be because of aging.  We were not tired so much last night, but we got really exhausted this morning.  And it continued all day today.  At night we finally got better a little bit.


The movie we watched " 2 seconds" was very sad for me. 

The scene she was bashed by an idiot driver's car door opening, and she was pushed into air, made me traumatized.  I still can remember even now.  And the scene where she soaked her butt into a basin which was filled with iced water after long hours riding.
But her beautiful and lean legs and arms were really fascinating for me.  I wanted get that really short cut like her, and I was almost going to go the hair cut place, but I held myself.   First I need to reduce my weight.

"The Kid with a Bike" was pretty good.  

I was amazed to see the boy who twisted his handle and stood still by balancing.  Also he was carrying a bag of charcoal in one hand and the handle with the other hand to ride back home.  
I wish I could have that balance.

 
Sorting, cleaning, reading and shopping.  It was pretty resting day we had.
Hope we will get more energy tomorrow at least a little bit.

Jazz and chore, then read

I have piled up house chore so much, I will work on them all day today while listening to Jazz.
Jazzy Climb every mountain by Coleman Hawkins Quartet

If I finish early, then I can read the book "In the city of bikes" more!  This is very funny and interesting so far.
