The Next Step

Knowing that I would be out of town most of the week, I decided to get in another bike ride to get ready for the ride across the state in a couple of weeks.  It was a good day but pretty windy.  I felt good and pushed the ride pretty good.  The wind was from the side on an out and back route which made it feel like I was riding into the wind both ways.  I did 25 miles before I had to get back to start work.

I had to leave this morning for a trip so didn't have much time.  I was able to get in 4 miles easy.  I felt kind of sluggish and tired this morning but glad I got in a few miles before heading to the airport.

Philadelphia, PA:  I didn't have my Garmin with me today (been having problems with it) so I mapped out a run on the computer.  I had planned on running 6 miles but got mixed up on my turn around point and ended up going an extra mile.  I was glad to get in the extra miles and felt pretty good the whole way.  There was about a 1/2 mile hill at the end that I was definitely not used to.  It was a good run on a good day.

I had early meeting today then flew back home.

Still getting ready for the bike ride across the state in a couple of weeks so did a 67 mile ride today.  It was warm (87) but cloudy so didn't feel as hot.  I felt good for most of the ride but ran out of water and Gatorade with about 20 miles to go.  I was really feeling bad afterward.  I was sick to my stomach and very light headed.  I thought I was going to pass out.  I am not sure if it is a stomach bug or if I was dehydrated.  Felt better after a couple of hours but still wasn't back to normal.  Other than that glad to get in the miles.
