I enjoyed the fact that the sun was out and there was no rain threatening, as there had been the last two mornings. It was also cooler this morning than other mornings this week, too, which was also nice, but the wind definitely picked up today and it was a little more of a right-in-my-face headwind than a gentle crosswind.

Earlier in the week I felt really good and the legs were feeling strong. I could summon up a sub-30 minute commute at will, either direction. This AM, though, kinda kicked my butt. Between being tired from the work week and the wind blowing right in my face, I definitely had to do some more work and in a lower gear to move along. Guess getting the legs tired is a good thing - means they're getting a good workout, but sometimes I just want to have a smooth, easy ride in to work and push harder if I want to, not because I have to. I guess I already had two of those this week, so this is payback (and prep for the winter when the wind will be blowing more than now).
