Thanks guys!!
Amy, glad you got some new socks -- hope they work out for you (well, not LITERALLY.. LOL)
Well, yesterday, thanks to Scott and my bunny teamates, i had my dh drag out my ol' mount. bike from my shed and i cleaned it off (wow, it was a MESS) and brought it to get some air in the tires after church - then i headed off to a wonderful bike path that i have about 10 min away from my house - right along the water - it's beautiful.. anyway, i ended up doing 12 miles and biked for 70 minutes!
Now, that may not be a huge undertaking for some, but i hadn't been on a bike in about 8 years since i had my dd!!! So, for me it felt REALLY REALLY great!! I could have done a few more miles i think, but we had to get ready to go to my nieces Confirmation dinner. And the weather here was really iffy yesterday - looked like it was going to pour any minute.
Now, i am hoping i can go to that bike path at least once a week -- and get 12-15 miles in. I think it will help with my cross training.
I can also bike a lil' bit around my neighborhood -- but no where near 12 miles -- too many hills, uneven roads, cars, dogs, etc...
I like the bike path, b/c you can just ride. And not have to worry about anything.
Thats bout it. I am planning on jogging/walking tonight - probably when dd goes to bed - as dh has a meeting at church tonight so he won't be home, and i don't like going on the TM when dd is up, b/c it's in our basement, and i can't hear what she is doing.
I use to feel that i *had* to run the whole 5k in WDW, but now, with the Walk/ Run thing i am doing, i am constantly cutting down my time, and i think i am getting over the fact that i am not a failure if i can't jog the whole 3miles at once.. b/c i am always getting faster. I am just worried about the humidity in FL next mo. - coming from New England where spring has just *started* to show up! LOL
