Sounds like a more complicated version of EEL 3105 - Analytical Methods, which I'm taking. Definitely not one of my favorite classes...

I got my BS in mathematics. I think I should ask for a refund.

I am taking ten days off the bike completely. The last time I took more than two days off in a row was July 2010.

Why am I taking the time off, or why has it been so long since I've had some extended rest?

Part two is probably the answer to part one!
My season was kind of funny last year with that random mid-summer vacation and an injury in late summer, so I never ended up taking time completely off the bike (though I did have lots of riding easy/unstructured time last year and this).
This year my training and racing stayed right on track, and I've had this rest scheduled for a while. I'm taking it now because it had to be done at some point this fall, and this week we're going on vacation and not bringing bikes.

3 hours easy yesterday, and an hour on the trainer this morning. I'm taking 3-4 days completely off of the bike this weekend to visit NYC.

Went for a base ride, but violated the plan because: 1) I am weak-minded 2) I installed the Strava Android app and had to go try for a top five on a KOM
<sigh>
At least it was only 4:38 spent above my planned target (nearly 2x...). The rest was base.

2:15 of Z2 with three 5' spin drills (125+ rpm).
Legs were lethargic, due to (I presume) the calorie deficit I'm running. I did the exact same ride last Saturday - same route, same weather, same drills, same time-in-zone - and averaged exactly one MPH slower today. I may be taking this weight loss thing a little too seriously.

she asked me the other day what I wanted...I just looked at her, and she says "oh, yeah, prolly some new tires huh?"

2:45 z2, great afternoon - glad I waited instead of going in the wet this morning! Planned on 3-3.5 but decided to cut it the time back a bit as I am a bit sore from yesterday and I want to be able to get my second big gear workout in tomorrow
