Ben and I got up at 4:00 and ran a very slow 5 miles....sometimes you got it, and sometimes you don't! :-) Poor Ben was very patient with my sluggishness, but I let him go the last half mile so he could get in a bit of a real run. Then I downed a power shake, loaded up my bike, and drove to Ivins so that the girls and I could do our ride out to Gunlock Reservoir. Even though we all ride at different speeds, it was fun because I could go my pace and then wait for the others to catch up at certain points along the route. I will now consider myself as a "real" cyclist, since I had my first "forgot to clip out in time" accident, and took a small spill on the side of the road. Luckily for me, I was ahead of everyone, so no one was there to witness my foolishness - hahahaha! :-D And since I also had my first "need a bathroom but will have to be content with behind a tree" experience a couple of weeks ago, I also now consider myself a "real" runner! We finished off our workout with a nice restaurant for breakfast....since any workout with food at the end is always more fun. It was a great morning! |
