Weather in May almost always sucks = Remember to Recover!

The weather in May in southeast Idaho generally sucks. It's a miracle if the wind is less than 10mph. And buy a couple lottery tickets if the sun shines on a day that the wind doesn't blow.

Honestly, last week was pretty nice, with temps into the 70s! No kidding. I actually considered it a bit "hot" when I ran a 10k because I am not used to those temperatures.  I got in a couple long outdoor bike rides, too, so life is good.

Of course, that was last week. This week, rainy and cold and windy...a chance of snow in the mornings just for good measure. And flooding, but nothing serious yet, thankfully.

My point is that you MUST take advantage of the good weather when it comes. I think that includes over-reaching a bit if there are several nice days in a row and you know that a few days of rain are coming. That's what I did last week. I got in some long bikes and long runs while sun was shining; and now I'm really tired from it, and I have to remember to let my body recover instead of going back at it. I didn't swim at all during those nice days last week (who wants to be inside on those days after a long winter!??!?!?), so I have some swimming to do while I recover from bike and run.

Here's wishing some sun your way!
