Down, but NOT OUT!

Late this past Sunday afternoon I started having a sore throat.  I thought I was just allergies but I seem to have come down with a cold or some type of sinus infection.  It moved from my throat to my nose and ears and today, Tuesday, hit my chest.  I am trying to rest as must as possible and am taking a few over the counter medications to help kick it. There are a few bigger rides I had on my calendar this weekend and I am hoping to be back riding and running this weekend.  I am listening to my body and will take it easy as I want to bounce back from this as fast as possible.  Pounding the liquids to try and flush it from my system. When the weather is good, even though it is hot, it stinks to be sick.

A little more family time, while recovering

I was able to get out with my son mountain biking this past Sunday, second week in a row.  I was just going to go out for a few hours by myself when he asked if he could go again, so really how could I tell him no.  He told me he had fun the last time but he said it was too easy.  So I started thinking I would take him out on a little harder trail.  Loaded up the bikes and we were out the door.  Like before, I lead the way to our destination ( a playground ), with him leading the way back.  He did really well and is getting the hang of it.  There are a few tight corners where cacti come really close to the trail, so I just told him to slow down.  I didn't want to see him get stuck or fall into a cactus.  What a great ride.

I was glad for the slower ride, as my allergies have zapped my energy this week. So many things in bloom here along with the pollen and the wind only makes it worse.

Check out the video below and this will explain the fun out on the trails.
