I'm going to try an eye mask, because the sunrise wakes me up, and my alarm is set for 7am. I've been awake since about 5:15. Grr.

I took Friday and Monday and Tuesday (yesterday) off from work, so this is my first work day since Thursday. The ride in was really nice. It's warm and humid, but hey, it could be worse. Lifting weights seems to help me. I spent 10 or 15 minutes at it before leaving, which is normal for me. Somehow, it really gets me going. I wasn't aiming to make my fastest time, and I think I did or at least close to it. 56 minutes moving time, 59 minutes overall. I rode my Raleigh which is not my fastest bike. My workouts with weights and with intervals on the bike are really paying off.

I did have a slight tail wind, and I'm sure that helped, too, but I'm taking most of the credit for my good results.
