one last beautiful day

had someone covering for me on ems and almost forgot. i got to mayfield and realized i was in trouble if i didn't book it home. rode hard and pulled into my driveway with 15 seconds to spare. that's what i call cutting it close. the medic who'd been on call for me drove by and waved while i was still in the garage.

the ride itself was beautiful. the sun came up from behind a bank of clouds to the east just as i was beginning my climb up antichrist hill. the wind was next to nothing. the sun felt good even if the temps were in the 30s. you couldn't ask for a better day in kansas.

it's too bad this is going to be the last day like this for a while. a winter storm is supposed to hit overnight, dumping ice and snow on us. the southern most counties (that would include mine) will be hit the hardest according to this morning's report. what am i going to do without a trainer?

i'm hoping i can get in at least 20 miles over the next few days. that will put me above the number of miles i got in the first five months of 2009! (25.56 miles @ 17.2mph)
