My exercise program this year changed a little, unexpectedly.
I had a great winter building strength on the trainer, had really good stamina and power going into this season. I participated in a 60 mile gravel race in April. The weather was mid-30's and rainy instead of 50's and sunny like we were all expecting... I don't do well in cold. Combine that with a saddle that decided to drop while riding (I'm an idiot for not noticing) and my knee was wrecked. I took almost all of May and June off, eased back into riding, and now my work/personal life schedule is busy and I'm barely riding 2x a week on a good week. I'm barely at 1000 miles for the season, and it's already the back half of August. Oh well. I guess not everything happens the way you expect, right? The bright side is I was able to do a ton of hiking in May and June with my wife and the doggos, so it's not like I've stopped exercising, but I've been a lot slower than I intended.
As all NE Ohioans say, "this is a building year, there's always next year"
