A Day off the Saddle

I had some great days on the bike last week. I got to ride 50 year trail with Max; a few rides with Kimmeh and Marsela at Starr Pass; a nice long road ride with Kimmeh; and an anti-girl/SDMB Saturday morning ride at Starr Pass. With all of this riding, it seems like my life remains complicated; and when I'm not riding, every little thing stresses me out.
Last summer while Max was injured, I missed the opportunity to improve my riding skills. This year while Max is injured again, I am working my butt off to get fit. My goal is to be someone Max enjoys to ride with. I know Max enjoys riding with me; but it is different if he doesn't have to stop every mile so that I can catch up with him. I know that I will never be at Max's level, but one can have goals. So, while trying to put as many miles as I can in a week, my riding is not paying off.
Today, I seemed to let things bother me a little more than usual. Seriously, I became a real girl...crying and everything. Today was a normal day; crazy customers, Sprocket eating my undies, no dinner. But today also included no riding. I had no outlet to release my anger, my stress. Today, I was unpleasant to have around. So, if you are around me on Thursday, be careful because it's my day off the saddle.
