Subject: RE: 8.29.11 Sunday Sunday Sunday!Mikeylee - 2011-08-28 7:27 PM My sweetie and I did a 17 mile bike ride. The first 13 miles was to the yogurt shop for a treat, then 4 miles home. Yep, we took the long way there to earn the yogurt. We were pedaling a little over an hour. Oh yea, it was stinking hot and windy during the ride! We were breaking in our new bikes and training for my first triathlon (sprint distance @ Nathan's event in Phoenix in 4 weeks ). Will they have frozen yogurt at the aid stations?  I am new at this! Does it show? That sounds fun. I've wished before that there would be a Starbucks at the end of the race. So far, no luck. :-) Ran almost 6 miles today. We were ten minutes late to church because of it, otherwise, I think I might have tried to go farther. It was a fun run. Miles 3 and 4 were along a very sandy road -- I mean like beach sandy. It was a little tough going. But I also felt amazing -- like I was just gliding along. During the 6th mile, the sweat was pouring into my eyes, and that was not fun. I need to figure out how to keep that from happening. I hope everyone fares well during the flooding and storms associated with Irene. We are expecting storms tonight, but it will be nothing like what we had here. Congrats to everyone who raced this weekend. Even a poor race is better than no race at all. |
