Weather Too Good to Pass Up
It's beautiful outside! I love days like this - sunny, a little breezy, in the mid 60s and low humidity. I think that's my definition of perfect weather. And it's made much better by the fact that it was cool, rainy and overcast yesterday. Yippppeee!
I wasn't quite sure what, if any, training I was going to partake in today. I just knew I wasn't going to run due to unwilling feet. I had told myself that if I felt like just taking the day totally off, that would be fine too.
O and I went to the earlier service at church, came home, read the paper and ate lunch. At that point I was feeling pretty sleepy and it was in the mid 50s. I decided taking a nap should be the next step. :) When I woke up a little after 2 pm it was sunny and in the 60s and so O and I both agreed on a bike ride outside. We did the loop that we made up about 3 weeks ago, but haven't ridden since because of cold, rainy weather. It was really nice, and the over mile long hill didn't seem as bad today, although I certainly am not calling it easy! When we were done with that loop we decided to add on a flat loop through town because it was so nice outside. At this point we passed the Dairy Queen. It was too good to pass up - we rode home, got money, rode back to the DQ and sat outside to eat our blizzards! I love it!
Altogether (not including the DQ run which was only an 10 extra minutes at most) the ride was 60 minutes. Today I focused on riding in lower gears with a higher cadence, which I read is what triathletes are supposed to do (to ease the bike-run transition and actually be able to move your legs when you get off the bike).
Because I was good and finished my statistics homework yesterday I'm totally ignoring the big project that I should be working on for school. Instead I've just been enjoying this beautiful day. O and I are about to head out to a get-together with people from our church now. I may just wear shorts! :)
