confusing the body

When our ship came to port the temperatures were much better according to me(my traveling group would beg the differ) than the islands. Hi 60s/lo 70s made for two full days hopping among theme parks at Disney World more comfortable. It was nice not coming home to bitterly cold air either. However, I got a sore throat only a few days afterward. No congestion but a fair amount of coughing & sneezing. Leaving the caribbean for the tundra will produce such ailments. Gaining four kilos on vacation got me to find consistency in a hurry though. I use metric often as the numbers sound more complimentary towards weight and mileage--please refrain from doing the english conversion as it will depress me greatly!

Week in review:

Mon>>arrived in Duluth @ 3:30 AM
Tues>>one hour road bike
Wed>>2h 45m road bike
Thurs>>one hour road bike
Fri>>one hour road bike
Sat>>2h 20m road bike
Sun>>1h 50m road bike

I hope to kick it up a notch beginning tomorrow. One thing evident is that I really need to let strength catch up w/aerobic level. Many steady grinds in the saddle are yet to come. Plus, my bark seems to have subsided and voice is less scratchy.
