Pushing the envelope

Yesterday I tried a very hard ride. Since there was a threat of rain, Bev bagged the ride and I did it with Paul and Chris. Since I was feeling better, I asked them to push the pace as we came back into Fayetteville. Paul and Chris paced it up to 31 mph before I had to bail out. Now today I am having some discomfort. I didn't get to ride today because it rained all morning. I used the time to paint more of our living room/dining room. There remains much to be done but it looks like I'll get the walls and ceiling done before the Castleberry reunion. It will look pretty good anyway. But all that work has added up to make me really tired. I am looking forward to my bed tonight. Tomorrow, I am hoping for a 2 hour window to get in some more exercise. In addition to getting the painting done, I repaired my wheel for my bike, installed the clip-less pedals on Bev's little bike, and replaced those Campagnolo hoods for her.
