The Voice is quiet again. For how long?

COMMUTE: 9.2 miles

A rest day! That's a fun thing to have, it means I'm working on other days and need to rest before it's a too-much-too-soon situation. Again. 

My tentative plans given the weekend travel: Bike Monday and Friday. Run Tues and Thurs. Rest Weds and Weekends. This is funny too because any previous year I was peak training on Weds and Weekends. Flip-flopped.

I had much indecision this morning on whether I should bike to work or not. I had driving errands to do, I thought I'd "save time" and drive, but that's also a common cop-out excuse for me. True, my legs need rest. True, my sit bones and tissues are sore. But -- it's also true that I've ridden in much worse condition. And -- I've been wanting to ride for months, the weather is great, and as soon as I detect mental bullshit like this I tend to force the issue being avoided. So, ride it was. 

And as usual, the ride was fine :)

In other news, and as per post title, I'll mention that once again that Voice in my head is silenced again. Refer back to May/June of 2019 for the last time this happened. That lasted I think two weeks? It's like the constant chatter is just turned off. It leaves an empty calm. There's no voice over my shoulder. I think it's due to rapid change, over-whelming change, stress, etc. This time the change is LA being gone. 

How long will this last? Will I like it? 

ETA brief voices Thursday in the mouse house. Old patterns.
