Runnin’……

Greetings Readers!

I haven’t been on the bike in two days! And I’m not stressin’ Yesterday on Mothers Day, Mom the Moneypit and I went out for a Hike. We hiked for nearly 2 1/2 hours, some people call that excersize, I found it therapudic. But unless I’m sweatin’ and the old ticker is up, it ain’t excersize.

When I got home from work today, I took my old arsk out for a run. I’ve followed mom on my bike while she was running so I could tell her the mileage of her route, 3.2 miles. I ran the same route today. I ran a 5K. Well, almost. I ran the 1st mile, had some spotty parts were I walked a little the 2nd mile, and I ran the third mile. I looked down at my watch with about a half mile to go: 0:24:44. When I crossed the line I must have cleared my watch somehow as it only read 30 seconds. Damn. My first 5K, and I don’t know my time. I’m guessing around 30 minutes. I think I can do better, and cut that time down to around 3, 9 minute miles.

I’ve some awlful pain in my shins while running, and I’m guessing I’ve not the right shoes. That and I’m turning 45 this summer and have never run my whole life……..  tomorrow I get back on my bicycle, and I suspect the ride in is gonna hurt. My legs are Sore!

I think my pal Ken is going to join me this weekend for a spin on the road bikes. Maybe Mom will join us, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m hoping for a 40+ miler, with maybe a climb thrown in. I can’t wait!

Cheers!
