2025 Mileage: 565.9

I got in a good ride at Planet Fitness late this morning.

Again today, I rode while listening to Interlochen Public Radio. And a piece that particularly caught my attention, and which I found extremely attractive, was the Symphony no, 1 of Prokofiev, written in 1917, when he was a 26-year-old young man. His inspiration was the classical symphonies of Haydn (1732-1809), and it is said that this symphony, also called Prokofiev's 'Classical' Symphony, is an attempt to show what Haydn would do if he were writing in the early twentieth century.

This gave me a ride of 13.4 virtual miles today, in 1:00.

We have experienced what I've heard called "fake spring" the last couple of days, with sunshine and temperatures in the forties. However, today when I came out of Planet Fitness after my ride there early this afternoon, a pretty and light snow was falling, and I thought, "There goes fake spring!"

Again today, I rode while listening to Interlochen Public Radio.

2025 Mileage: 500.2

The last couple of days, I've allowed myself to rest due to pain. Yesterday I told my wife it was back pain, but then I realized that it was actually the holy trinity of pain - back, knee, and foot pain.

Today, although I was not yet 100%, I felt that it was important for me to get back on it, so I just took it a little bit easier than usual at Planet Fitness, while listening to Interlochen Public Radio.

This gave me a ride of 12.7 virtual miles today, in 1:00.
