I did an indoor ride on my rollers very early this morning. I wished I had done a run first thing this morning instead. On a very extreme rare occasion, I went to work and was sent home early (everyone left 30 minutes after getting there). I AM NOT unemployed and I CANNOT collect unemployment because I'm still employed full time with the same company. I still have to show up for work tomorrow. We did not get laid off. We just didn't have any work to do and we still got paid for the eight hours today even though we were literally only there for 30 minutes. I went for a very short run after I got home from work. Usually, I have the most motivation to run before 7AM, but I wanted to get in a few miles...something is better than nothing. I felt like dying because anything over 50F degrees felt too warm for me. It didn't help that it was super windy and dirt was blowing everywhere.
I had been doing rides on rollers since I got them in April. Today was the first time that my hands didn't get really numb and feel pain. I haven't learned how to ride with one hand without freaking out in a panic. If I learned how to let go for a minute or longer, it could relieve any numbness or pain in my hands when I ride on rollers. My bike fit guy said that getting a bike fit wouldn't help make my hands feel more comfortable riding on rollers...a bike fit is meant for outdoor rides (road, gravel, or mountain trails). I've been able to ride on my rollers with the wall on one side and nothing on the other side comfortably for a few months now. Perhaps, I should go back to having a side barrier on the other side so I could learn how to ride with one hand.
