Pumpkin Pedal minus a tooth

Today was the Pumpkin Pedal ride for Special Olympics. It was a great ride, twenty easy miles. I was with a great group, and my daughter was by my side. Even though it was a tad chilly (35 at ride time), I had picked up some Under Armour base layers, top and bottom. The sales clerk said they were awesome, and he was right!

So, like other things, this week I stressed about the ride: temps, times, and other nonsense. And as always, things really did turn out ok. Heck, I even had fun.

Where does the tooth come in?

Glad you asked.

Wednesday, I had a wisdom tooth bugging me. Thursday it was worse. Friday, I had to leave work early to have it extracted. Hense, minus a tooth.

I went back to work on Saturday, early as well, after I told my boss I would cancel my day off due to shortage on shift. Why? Why did I cancel it?

Now, one sick day is being used so I can have a good day to recover.

I'm glad the ride went well. I'm glad my tooth is gone. I'm glad I was able to help support the Special Olympics. And I got a t-shirt too!
