bad Jan!

So, I unintentionally took three weeks off from cycling (1.5 for vacation, when I was still getting lots of exercise; 1.5 for late nights/early mornings catching up at work) and it's like it was three months of chain smoking. I rode ~ 4.7 miles on Sunday and around 2.5 this morning (my hilly neighborhood) and it's kicking my butt. I had no idea I'd get out of (what tiny scrap of) condition (I was in) so quickly. Let that be a lesson to me!

Still, it's a nice morning today. The coolness is back; the nasty ick that descended over a pleasant September last weekend has lifted. I saw a marmalade cat, some dogs, and a squirrel today, but no birds (heard a few jays). I did see a number of birds yesterday, including a hawk (very close to the road when I was driving), a flock of robins in the park, some "rock doves", and I think a mocking bird.

Hmmm. Need a birding icon...

That happens to me everytime I come back off a rig, the first couple of times going to and from the office always takes me about 10-15 minuets longer to cycle.
