Weather - 86 degrees, sunny, humid. This is a day that turned out differently than expected. I woke a little before 4am, and was out the door at 4:45am, riding my bike to Mike's house, about 8.5 miles away. The ride was quiet and dark, about 30 minutes into the ride a dull gray light illuminated the streets, and then it began to rain. When I arrived at Mike's house I waited in his driveway for about 10 minutes. At 6:00am I rang his bell, and a man dressed only in boxer shorts opened the door. I realized then something was wrong. I checked the house address and realized that I had turned onto Crestview Road, instead of Crestwood. I guessed that Crestwood had to be close, and it turned out to be 4 blocks away. I arrived at Mike's house at about 6:05am, but he had already left for the race. Dejected, I rode home in the rain. Later in the day I ran 5 easy miles. This week will be all easy days, a time to let my body repair itself and become stronger. I am running the Bix 7 mile race next weekend. That is, if I can find my brother-in-law's house. #246 |
