What a roller coaster

This week Has been crazy. Easter was a huge and amazing family get together with most of the Breakall family together. Then Jack the cat-Breakall family pet of almost 11 years- was killed that night. Lexi is officially crawling, saying her first word ("Hi" while waving) , constantly trying to stand up on her own and by pulling up, has gotten her first tooth, is about to cut her second, we've heard sad things and happy things, and today is the first anniversary of my grandpa's passing. Such a roller coaster.
What I really wanna write about today , however, is Cycle class. This week I've gone twice, and tomorrow is the third time. Tuesday was rough. I knew it would be. I mean, 14 months with no cycle, and then jumping in to a full effort 60 min ride? I was able to keep up with about 50% of Bob's cues. About halfway through, I had to run to the bathroom. Jillian Michaels would be proud. ;-) the part I'm actually proud of? I went back in and finished that ride. Then last night, knowing I won't get stronger unless I stick to it, I went back. I didn't really expect much from myself, considering Tuesday's performance and the fact I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before, but I really surprised myself! I kept up with about 75% of bob's cues and felt great doing it! I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow morning and seeing Kathi and having another great ride!
