Today was hell. This is the first time I stopped pedaling to pant, but I did that within the first 2.5 minutes before I gave myself a little pep talk and started over. Stopping is probably what cost me my 0.1 of a mile compared to yesterday, but I made it through level 4 the first time and it really wasn't that bad. I think I wasn't mentally prepared appropriately, because really folks, that's all this is. You imagine you can do it, and then you do. When I'm in the right frame of mind, there is nothing that I can't accomplish because I just don't feel the pain (until later, that is).

Yesterday at work I felt soreness in my obliques all day, which surprised me as I didn't realize how heavily they were involved in cycling. I have no doubt that today will be any different, but today I'm going to remember to take my Motrin to work with me.
