Yesterday, Memorial Day, was super windy here in Northern Illinois. And it was 90+ degrees. I love riding when it's hot, so I wasn't gonna miss the chance.
I managed to squeeze out about 31 miles on my road bike. It was a real struggle because when the wind wasn't directly in my face, there was such a strong crosswind that it really slowed me down.
I am soooo lucky to have wide open country roads to ride. This picture probably makes it look boring, but it is NOT.
I really noticed a lot of tingling in both feet while I was riding, which I guess is more neuropathy from the chemo. It hasn't bothered me much otherwise. The doctor said he could give me something if that gets to be a problem, but if riding is the only issue, I'll just let it go.My yearly odometer is at about 320 miles and climbing. Hopefully we'll get some good weather and I can start racking up the rides.
We got lots of rain Saturday, and when I rode by the local golf course I saw that it was closed due to flooding.
Got home and Julie had lined up a party. Had some family and friends over, and we had a cook out and sat around our pool. Some played bags, some swam, some logged a little trampoline time, all seemed to enjoy themselves.
This morning I think everyone was a little sunburnt and tired from a nice long Memorial Day weekend.
And then tonight I uncorked the pool filter to help Julie with cleaning the pool and... we have a leak! There is sand in our water and I am 99.9 % sure there's a tear in the liner. Another word for pool is "money pit". ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!
So, to sum up, I've been feeling fine (other than the whole pool issue). Next chemo is Thursday.
Hope you had a nice holiday weekend.
