Band-Aid Love Letter

Hi.

I am training for the 2010 Pelotonia and this morning my husband and I woke early and set off for a ride. Our goal was 40 miles. He likes roads and I like trails so when we started off we compromised and did a little of both.

He is my trainer. He is my leader. I follow him and can trust his instincts when it comes to passing, crossing the street, going up hills and down. When we ride, I can draft him and know that I am safe.

There is one spot on his leg that I seem to watch as we ride. It's his calf. I don't know why but my eyes seem to focus on that one spot. And today I noticed that there was a band-aid in that spot. I kept thinking that I needed to ask him what had happened, why he needed a band-aid. I watched and wondered if he cut himself or if his little infection had come back, or if maybe it was a bite. I could see that it was a little dark in that spot so still wondered if it was blood.

We stopped for a brief drink and my wonderful husband asked if I saw his band-aid. I said yes, and he kind of pointed at it, smiled and asked if I saw what it said....

It was my band-aid love letter..........
