Today is a rest day - no soft pedalling on my bike, no yoga or pilates, no walking on the treadmill . . . just nothing. I slept in until 6:30 am [the luxury!]. Which I desperately needed after two nights of only 6 hrs each. Without enough sleep, I'll get sick again. And that's the last thing I need.

I've been thinking of seeing if I can borrow a fixed gear bike [with a brake] for a couple weeks. I've been curious about them for a while, and riding one can really help give you a good, round pedal stroke. If I like it, I might even consider racing track this summer.
