55:55 minutes - 10.71 bike ride

Though I love this warm weather, my allergies have kicked in full force.  I was up all Monday night with sniffles and drips.  YUCK!  I took a very small dose of Children's Benedryl and I felt hung over all of today.  

But I had to get outside and kinda of enjoy the pollenly air.  My ride was slow (had to stop lots to blow my nose).  I am getting more comfortable on a bike and "bike butt" isn't so bothersome.

Ankle feels better; I'm hoping by Monday, I can do a run/walk.

NICE interval swim yesterday. Beautiful bike ride today. I hear ya on the Spring pollen and the Benedryl side effect. Kelli takes the small dose of children's benedryl as sleep aid. :)

Sorry to hear the ankle wasn't co-operating. I hope you'll be walk/running by Monday too!

Sorry 'bout the allergies. If you find the cure for "bikebutt", let me know. One of my biking partners yesterday asked me if I'd ever hit the wall biking, and I had to honestly say no because the bike butt always gets me first!

Glad you got your ride in. Sorry I didn't call you back. My afternoon got really crazy! I hate "bike butt" as well! I need to find a better seat for my bike. I am going to the pool tomorrow. Will you be there?

Bike butt, maybe that's why I never ride a bike.

Good job on the bike ride.

Now you've made me think that maybe I've got allergies and not a cold.

Cal- I'm doing a pool run on Friday at 5:15 if you want to come!

bike butt for me was bad for about 3 weeks until I did spin classes consistently for that time. Now I can do one a week and not be sore all weekend!

I hope those allergies go away soon, I'm glad the ankle is feeling better!
