I did not ride my bike today, nor did I run, but that is because I took a rest day, which is after all recommended every once in awhile.

I did meet my cycling goal of riding every day of the summer. Then Ed goaded me into going four more days to make it an even 100 days in a row. The next day, I went for a run, then two days of biking, after which I realized the run made my legs kinda tired, and really, now it’s time to get back into a normal training schedule with intervals and days off. So don’t worry, Mom!
Since Hurricane Ike, we have had so many nice days where we can open the windows, at least at night. I also finally figured out how to open the doors in the dining room, which have screen doors. There were matching double doors for the dining room entrance into the living room out in our garage, which had been stripped but not painted. I am hoping to paint those and get them hung (although I can’t find the hinge pins or the door knobs). I think they will look good. Both set of doors have smallish panes of glass with old imperfections, which I like. We also want to paint the dining room a different color, but haven’t come up with anything yet. Hopefully by Thanksgiving we’ll have this figured out.
