Happy July 4th!
Yeah USA! Happy birthday! :)
I had two workouts today - actually more like three but due to the pool being closed for the holiday I've done some rearranging with my week. Regardless, I sort of jammed my 2 workouts together today so that I would be done an able to properly celebrate the 4th this evening at a Shutt (O's family) get-together. Also being celebrated today at the get-together is O's birthday, O's mother's birthday and my birthday. O's family has had a birthday party scheduled for me on about 3 different occasions (seeing has how my birthday was about 6 weeks ago) but I kept having to cancel - sometimes for travel and once because I had a little wrangle with a white pickup truck... :)
Regardless, I sort of like spreading out the birthday celebrations - now I don't have to wait a full 365 days to celebrate again - just another 325 or so... :)
Anyway, I digress. This morning Roxy and O joined me for a very easy 30 minute jog. I was quite sore when I woke up this morning - mostly my arms which is probably from that 1400 yds of pull I did yesterday in the pool! The 30 minutes easy got the kinks worked out though for my 2 hour ride that I started pretty much as soon as we got back from the run. I had a very nice ride. I think every cyclist in Pittsburgh was out and about this morning! And I even ran into one of my old teammates that was headed the same way I was. We rode together for about 10 miles and I'll have to say - I had forgotten how nice it is to draft off someone! How does 25 MPH while soft-pedaling sound?! :) Anyway, I'm still a little nervous out there on the roads, especially when I'm by myself. I know I'll eventually get over it but at this point pretty much every car I see makes me nervous!
And now off to the festivities! Have a great holiday everyone!
