I saw a lot of new faces out today. I think I'm inspiring a lot of people to get out and run. Everybody wants to be like me. I'm quite sure of it. Average pace today was 8:31.
No wildlife on the run, but I saw one dead rabbit, one dead snake, and 8 live prairie dogs on the bike ride. Who on the blog can I compare to prairie dogs? They have to be small, fast, and cute. Montelepsy? Distance was 17.7 miles. Average speed was 14.9 mph and max. speed was 20.5 mph.
Ouch. The ride home. My wife called me at work to see if I could be home by 4pm because the missionaries were coming to dinner. I don't think she realized I rode my bike today. So I took off at 3pm. It was 90 degrees out. Not too bad. When I turned south there was a headwind, and I was afraid it would be as bad as last week's. It was rough for a few patches, but overall I managed. At one point a big diesel passed me. Then all of the sudden the wind died and the riding became extremely easy. It was like the diesel took the wind with it. Is that possible? So I cranked it to the highest gear and was cruising along at 26 mph. It was wierd. After about a half mile the wind came back, and I was back to going 16 mph. Did you know lizards can run about 16 mph? I spooked one, and it took off running alongside the curb. It had no where to go but forward. It finally tried to jump over the curb but couldn't make it. That was funny. Don't laugh at lizards. So I was almost home and I had to go around the round-about by my house. There was a car behind me and I didn't want to slow them down so I tried to zip around it as fast as I could. I soon realized I was about to pull a Lucia. Tuck and roll baby! I'm a little banged up, and my bike is fine. Hopefully my knee will feel good in the morning and I can go running.
And that's why you don't laugh at lizards. |
