“The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley,“ Bobby Burns “To a Mouse”

For 36 years after being diagnosed with T2DM I have exercised regularly. It keep me medicine free for 10 years, but even with drugs and insulin, exercise is the mainstay of my therapy.

Well I am finally well from a cold that made me almost as insulin resistant as prednisone :sob: So today I spent the morning getting my regular road bike fit to ride this evening. I mowed the front yard this morning and all day it was clear.

5:30 I made sure the tires were aired up, and I noticed the sky was completely overcast. I even felt a few drops on my bald head. I checked the weather. Storms were predicted to start at 6. Ah well, I said I guess I can do a virtual, Zwift ride in the bedroom. Got in 10 miles watching Spider Noir with Nicholas Cage.

I would rather have been out on the road, but it felt good to get my legs pumping.

Here’s my Zwiftmobile, sorry for the sock.

Well, the rain never came. But here’s to the mice.
