I miss my Mother and I wish Mother Nation would give me a break.

Monday February 4^th through Wednesday February 27^th

I took Ill during the first part of February, and went on vacation during the middle part so I have not done as much riding as I would have liked to.  From Feb 4^th through Feb 27^th I attend several spin classes for a total of 84.53 miles ridden, and I rode my trainer several times for a total of 53.27 miles.  Despite my illness and vacation I’m still ahead of schedule.  I’m currently just outside Dayton, Ohio on I-70 heading west.

Progress Status:  Ahead of schedule

Total Miles Rode:  590.08

Miles Remaining:  2165.22

Ride Notes:   I’m really getting anxious to start riding outside but Mother Nature is not cooperating.  We have had several snow storms recently leaving ice on the trail I would normally ride.  I’m hoping that in a few more weeks I will be able to start a regular outdoor riding schedule. 

This segment of the ride is making me a bit sad.  My mother died in Dayton, Ohio a few years ago of complications from lung cancer.  I miss her. 

Keeping myself fit and healthy is the biggest motivation on this ride for me.  I can’t help but wonder how things could have been different had my mother had the same mindset.  By next week I should push way past Dayton and the memory of my mother dyeing.  RIP mom, you are missed.
