FOMO sort of

Northampton CX is today and tomorrow. 30th everyone or one or whatever it's a lot. There's a lot of people signed up. Huge race. Everyone seems to be there. Like the whole internet. 
E was supposed to be in NYC running the marathon she didn't go. So I could have gone up. Done the day of registration, start in the back, where I belong, with 200 people on the course? Or, I could have (or really still could) jump in the car without a bike and drive and drive. 

But I slept in, and I'm still tired. Trying to remind myself I need to rest more, I need to not feel destroyed every day. But then it would be pretty cool to go up to NoHo. Maybe tomorrow.

Of course this morning I'm driving coffee and feeling like writing. And I left the work laptop at work. On the good side I'm not as likely to work but now writing? Guess I could grab the tablet instead of swiping on the phone. 

Thinking maybe bike shop today... Not sure I worked at all during October. Even if there's no bikes to build it's a chance to hang out with friends, or at least people I work with that are friendly to me when I'm there. Are they friends, like real ones? Maybe? Probably? Dunno tho. Most of the time, I guess everywhere, I just feel tolerated, like we'll be nice to you but def not act like we do around other people. I'd never think that if I haven't observed it pretty constantly over my life. But hey whatever. Maybe there's actually bikes to build and I can hide in the basement and help out and not impose too much. 

Skipped the voltaren stuff last night, knee feels a tiny bit more inflamed/in pain than yesterday morning but not functionally different. 

The Reddiyo plan has today as a rest day. Nothing scheduled. I'm already at 344 for the week. Sick a workout or a ride in tomorrow or both and should hit the 400 mark. For better or worse. Then start over again leading into really rad. 

Really rad... As in the rebirth of Plymouth. Haven't raced that in a long while. Not sure if I should stick with the singlespeed or toss some gears on. Maybe gears? Or just a harder gear, go to the 20 instead of the 22? 

Def not going to be at the shop when everyone else gets there today. Maybe bring bike and work on it there if there's no bikes that need building. I mean yeah I could work on it here at home but, it's not warm outside right now. 

Sunsets have been pretty solid lately. I even posted one to Facebook. 

That one. It was Thursday night. Next week will be in the dark. 

And I'll pellar do even more trainer miles. They aren't terrible, maybe they are helping even?

At least it is sunny here. 

Coffee cup is empty... Phone is almost charged. Time to pack some lunch and take a drive.

Heddwch,
