Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Definitely on the trainer again this morning with our roads still covered with snow and some ice too! I'm actually starting to get used to the long rides on the trainer though. Scary to say but my 3 hour ride didn't even seem that long today. What is this world coming to? Regardless I told myself (again) this morning that this really is the last long ride I'm going to have to do on the trainer - honestly - promise - for real. :)
The 3 hour ride probably went by pretty quickly because I had some good movies to watch. Today I hit up the free movies on On Demand. I scoped out the options last night and saw that Say Anything and Into Thin Air were both available. Score! Say Anything is just about my favorite movie and although I've seen it about a million times it never gets old. Who doesn't love a movie from the 1980s with John Cusack in it? :) Into Thin Air is the movie based on the book of the same name about a group's attempt to summit Mt. Everest. Pretty intense that one. Either way before I knew it, 3 hours had passed it was time to get some running gear on!
It was cold this morning - 25 degrees with a 15 degree windchill and although that doesn't seem that bad I really bundled up because my hair and HR monitor strap was soaking wet from the ride. By the time I got back from my run both were just about frozen. :) Anyway, it was a 30 minute run right off the bike and it went well besides the weather. I had to slow myself down several times because I felt good and just wanted to RUN. But it's not time for that yet. I can't tell you how much I WISH it was time for that, but it's not.
So that's that! 3.5 more hours in the books. And now we are off to the bike store to check things out! I have much bike drama going on right now (a whole blog entry in and of itself) but I think it's all finally resolved. Should be a good afternoon though - the bike store is always a fun place to be... :)
