Benn brought my bike to my house this week so that I could use it for a biking date on the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail. Despite all of the lousy weather, today turned out to be sunny and very humid... also mega windy! We biked the trail and it was lovely outside and inside, because my heart was so glad to be spending this time with Benn. Once we got to the end of the trail in Adams, MA, we wanted to keep going to a cafe (BrewHaHa) in North Adams. We biked most of the way there but it was becomming a cruddy experience (bad traffic on the highway, tons of wind and sand getting blown in my eyes, lots of noise... yuck)! So, we turned around and headed back to a cafe (The Grind) in Adams, only to realize that it was a sit-down restaurant/cafe and we forgot to bring the bike lock. We didn't really want anything much anyway, so we each sat under a tree and ate an apple and drank water. Then headed back on the trail... my tricepts (especially my right one) started becomming really sore, and then the soreness moved to my shoulder then to my neck and upper shoulderblade. Benn helped me bike it out the last 9 miles or with the soreness & weakness. Finally, we made it and I am glad he helped push me through the entire thing :)
After dinner, I did some weight lifting and leg lifts.
