Cassandra: Whew! I am tired. I just burned 913 calories and spent 1:39 on the bike trainer. That's not minutes, just an FYI. That's an hour and 39 minutes. I tried not to overdo it in lieu of my left calf pain the other night, but it never became an issue this ride. I was pain free, except for near the end when my seat started to hurt. After talking to Steve, the fit guy, at REI the other day I am taking my post-workout stretching more seriously, which I think is going to help things. I spent a good amount of time tonight stretching my calves, quads, and hamstrings. And I even showed some love to my ankles with a bunch of ankle rolls. Now that my ride is finished and I have refueled and showered, I am really tired. My body feels worn out, but Dennis and I are headed out dancing tonight. I know I will get a second burst of energy when I hear the live band and see all of the couples out on the dance floor. If only biking was as intoxicating as dancing :-)

Tomorrow is the Seattle Bike Expo ... I can't wait! I am hoping I'll find the right pair of glasses with interchangeable lenses. Cross your fingers for me :-)
