Treading lightly

Made it to work today, feeling better but probably just becasuse the coffee is stronger. My mom's been sick since California, finally went to the doctor yesterday. I'm going to try to sleep it out, I'm sort of in the same frame of mind as Rachael: this sucks. Weather's perfect, trails are perfect and I can't ride.

So, I'm for sure pulling the plug on Treadfest this weekend. Which totally bites -- fun race (similar trail feel to Shenandoah), close to home, last XC for the year -- I can't remember the last time I skipped a race because I was sick. But Interbike looms large, and the last thing I need is to spend 4 days on my feet while still trying to beat a bug. My coach tells me we have enough time to be in form for Moab, but from my perspective as I lay on my bed, I just want to be able to ride again, let alone race. It's really that bad.
