I pushed a little harder than usual this morning. I have a presently-vague goal to ride my age, 49, on my birthday, the last day of May. That's about 11 weeks, nearly a quarter. But presently I'm riding to work 1-2 days a week and that's been it, hardly fitness. I haven't tried it in a few years. Last time, with probably better base fitness but no extra preparation or training, I washed out seven or eight miles short. I probably need to be doing an hour a day, most days. Between kid duty, savings time, girls softball, and wife also planning to start up aerobics, it's going to be hard to put in some time every day, or enough time on the available days. I always feel like I'm taking time out of a budget I've allocated to spend on them
