Today, Meg and Jen awoke to ride on Vashon island to find themselves transformed into slug-a-beds.
We could not get out of our princess and the pea bed let alone ride the 45ish miles of hills. So, today was an unintended day of rest and super-fun-family day spent with Lucy, Papi, and Grandma Flowers/Lis/Marty/Grando/Momo (can't decide what she wants to be called).
The lesson to those who might be reading this, in other words our parents and the other authors, every now and then....you just don't have what it takes and you have to follow your body. Our bodies were headed directly into our mattress.
When Meg did Coeur d'Alene two years ago....she had some moments about this far in to the training where things were getting difficult and she was really tired...and that was without a 5 month-old in the house. So, we are trying to be gentle with ourselves, knowing that we are way ahead in terms of our biking mileage and we feel strong.
Tomorrow, however, we run....14 miles. Slug-a-bed be damned!
