Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! (Page 36)

ironannekidd - 2010-06-13 11:49 AM I channeled my inner Ghoulie this morning and took a little bit of Bill, Melindy, and Neal with me and did a 40 mile ride. I thought about making the trip a few miles longer but I figured that those 3 were pretty tired already and I didn't want to strain them too much.

I'd like to do a little longer loop next weekend, so if you guys are up to it I'd appreciate taking you along again.

I did have a few hiccups along the way. About 16 miles in I had a bug go down my shirt, jealous guys?

I slowed down to get it out and unclipped left but tipped over to the right. Fortunately I landed in weeds and mud, I could have landed in much worse. Then around mile 30 something I popped the chain. Other than that I was pretty happy with how things went.

I've showered, got the compression socks and tights on now, an ice pack on my thigh where I landed, and I've got some chicken on the grill. I will be napping shortly.

Jules, I was going to call you, but I wanted to be out of the house before 9 and with that 3 hour time difference I didn't know if you'd be up that early. Do you have any plans for next Saturday? I'd love to have some company on a long ride.

deehtz - 2010-06-13 12:56 PM Good morning, Ghoulies!  I am back from vacation.  Had a great time in Tennessee visiting family and some sight seeing at historical sites, Smokey Mountains, Arkansas farmlands, etc. 

No workouts during the trip.  We kept on the go plus I was dealing with sinus crud.  Still have some of the sinus issue, but hopefully it will clear up soon. 

I will try and skim thru the thread later today. 

Happy Sunday, everyone!

ironannekidd - 2010-06-14 5:56 AM What's on tap for today everyone!

I think I'm going to get yogafied this evening.

Marathon training starts tomorrow! (do you hear that Kim?)

After yesterday's bike ride I'm taking it easy today.

Absolutely nothing.  And I'm going to enjoy it as much as I did yesterday

Yay for the start of marathon training!  Exciting!

disturbed275 - 2010-06-14 10:17 AM I was hoping my work mojo would return today.  Nope.  It's gonna be loooong Monday

I hear 'ya sistah!  I am going to run tonight after work.  Tomorrow morning is masters swim and I need to get back in the pool at least a couple times a week. 

ironannekidd - 2010-06-14 10:20 AM

I was just thinking this morning that I haven't been in the pool in a month.

I have a sprint in 6 weeks I think. I need to get in the water. It's only a 300 meter swim, but I should still practice a little.

I believe the best way to deal with that is to find a dark, isolated place, a closet perhaps, and sleep off a few hours. That will make the day go faster.

I've said this before, I like the way your mind works
