I ran a 5K last Saturday. The good news is that I dropped 1 minute from my last 5K last month... I'm hoping that the trend continues. It was a fun race, as there were a lot of people in costume. I was chased for the entire race by women wearing reindeer outfits. I managed to just barely be in front of all 17 of them. Sheesh! No way could I run that fast wearing a skirt!
Today, I went for a bike ride. It was 60 and sunny, and it felt so nice! I was riding my Arizona bike. For a bike that I don't get to ride that often, it sure is nice. The only aggravating thing on it are the rattling STI shifters. But that's a small problem. Otherwise, it's a sweet ride. People say that the frame material doesn't make a difference, but a Ti frame, if it is made right, has a pretty special ride. I definitely feel fortunate to possess the bikes that I have.
Since it has been a year since I rode here, I had forgotten how to get up north. I ended up on a road with no shoulder and no bike lane, and quickly realized that I had made a wrong turn (or lack of turn, heading straight when I should have turned right). Oh well, I found a way onto a much less busy road in a short time. Then, it was pedal uphill into the wind until it was time to turn around. And then... wheeee! Downhill with a tailwind, spinning out for 5 miles.
