Lessons Learned...


Two things I learned this morning... number one: I must remember to drink some water before I head out on my morning run. (or at least bring water bottle with me) and number two: starting my run later means much hotter temps! Today is day off from work so I slept in a bit - thus instead of heading out at 5:30 am my feet found the pavement at 7:30 am -- two hours is a HUGE difference in the heat factor. By the end of my run my legs were getting VERY wobbly -- kinda scary actually. When I got back to the house I sat on back porch and got the liquids back in me... Running later also meant more traffic on the streets. I didn't like that so much either. Well, hopefully I have learned my lesson this time. I really, really need to drink some water before I head out and maybe even bring a water bottle too. Was almost 80 degrees by the time I was halfway through my route. I felt very sluggish early on but I didn't put two & two together to see I was pushing it on an empty tank. My legs are starting to come back so I will add my canine partner tomorrow morning (@ 5:30am) and begin kicking it up a notch. Livestrong!

my favorite bike jersey


This is my favorite jersey that i own... so much fun!

I think it is important to have fun on my bike -- not just be commuting to and fro OR training for a race. The sheer joy of riding cannot be overlooked. When I saw curious george jersey I couldn't pass it up. Livestrong!
