I woke up a tiny bit late this morning, and so I shortened my bike route. I thought I had shortened it by 4 miles (I typically ride 10 miles), and when I got home, I was so discouraged with my time. 35 minutes to ride 6 miles. I was starting to think *I* could have run fast (not really... but it felt that way), but when I mapped it, it turned out that I had biked 7 miles. 5 minute mile. It's still slow, but given the head wind I was fighting, and that I was on a mountain bike, I feel pretty good about it. I hope everyone else had a good morning!
Okay, do I didn't take Melanie with me this morning, but this is a picture of my cute Melanie ready for a bike ride. If that isn't inspirational, I don't know what is. :o)

This afternoon (pre-dinner) Melanie and I decided to go for a short run. I was inspired when I went out to get my mail (with Melanie in my arms) and she got super excited to be outside. Since it isn't all that hot out, it was a good day for us to "hit the road". Melanie clapped and gabbed the first two miles, but then started getting real tired. That's when we decided to head home. |
