Running The Race

Gayle was out of town this past week so I had to do double duty. Even thought the girls take care care of themselves, it seems to take longer when there is only one parent around.

Got in a couple of rides last week. Tuesday evening rode 20 with the Harpeth Bible Club. Also, made it to the pool four times. Swimming is still a struggle….maybe one day.

The warm streak continued during the week with the temperature in the 90s most afternoons. Thursday, I wanted to do strides but decided to be satisfied with just 8 miles without strides.

Saturday, I got up at 4 am and checked the weather radar, rain. So, I went back to bed and slept for an hour. Finally headed out the door around 6:15. About half way into the run, it started raining again. So much for trying to avoid the rain.

This morning, Amy met me at 5 to ride. It was her first ride with clipless peddles.

This Saturday is the RC Cola and Moon Pie 10 miler. If I had not already signed up, I think I would do the Harpeth River Ride instead just to get some more time in the saddle.
