I was up at 8:00 AM after sleeping for about 8 hours, 7 hours, and 40 minutes of restful sleep. The chart to the right shows my Sleep Number bed data for last night. Unfortunately, I did not feel fully rested. I decided to head downstairs and ride a Rouvy route to start the day. I rode the Vincoiurt to Gruson, France route. It had gravel and other rough terrain, which the trainer adjusted accordingly. I was able to complete 10.51 miles in 39 minutes. I averaged 16.4 MPH and had an average heart rate of 129 BPM.
After breakfast, I visited Ace Hardware to buy M4 50 mm screws for a box I printed on the Bambu A1. I was surprised that they were sold out of most of the M4 45-55 mm sizes. I'm not sure what's causing the rush on the product, unless there's a surge in 3D printing in the city. So I will check another store tomorrow.
After cleaning, the temperature was nearly 60 degrees, so an outdoor ride seemed like a good option. I rode 17.4 miles in 1 hour and 9 minutes, climbing 1,027 feet. My average heart rate matched this morning's ride, 129 BPM.
As it was nearing 5:00 p.m., I showered and started dinner. Shelley was surprised by the St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown and would be delayed getting home. The timing was perfect, as I heard the garage door open right when dinner was on the table. However, she sat in the car for a while, and I had almost finished eating when she entered the house. She said she needed to attend to a few things. I get frustrated because I usually eat alone when I make dinner and time it well for her arrival!
I am enjoying retirement without a schedule and can ride or do whatever I want on a whim. I was well prepared to retire. On the other hand, Shelley has done very little to prepare, and she says she is scared and not ready. She is one of those who will regret not retiring earlier as she gets older.
