My mom would be proud...

...since yesterday I decided to play it safe and not bike in the rain.  Now when you are a triathlete training for a big race, you need to ride your bike rain or shine, or ride on a trainer.  I don't have a trainer (yet), so yesterday when my training plan had a hill workout for me to do, I contemplated riding in the rain.  Going down a big bridge at 25-30 mph on a slippery road is definitely not the smartest thing to do.  So, it really wasn't a hard decision.  Instead, I decided to go to a spin class at the gym after work.  Turns out, my afternoon meeting went long, and by the time I got to the class (5 minutes before it started), it was already full.  Drats.  After an already long and tiring day, I was thinking about ditching the days workout.  When I got home, I decided to stick with the plan and I went to a spin class at 24 Hour at 6:45 pm.  So I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking with it.  Days like yesterday will make it easier for me to deal with other bad days, knowing that I can get through them if I just put in the effort, rain or shine.
