My thighs are on fire!

So I signed up to do a 15 mile fun bike ride with the girls from work. I asked Jenny to go with cuz I know she hearts riding her bike. She talked me into riding the 30 mile instead. I'm not even going to discuss how much I slowed her down. I was ridiculously slow! The second half was very hilly and windy. I felt like I was pedaling 20MPH. When I looked down it was more like 8MPH. Wow! I am not where I should be as far as my training for the tri. WTH! The first 15 went better than the second. I whined and complained the whole time. Jenny should be used to that by now. What fun would it be if I just did it without complaining. right Jen? I stopped pissing and moaning when jenny threatened to make me ride home in the back seat if I didn't stop. good times........good times. Next year we'll have to bring the family's with. There was a fall festival going on, arts and crafts, trick or treating, a parade, etc. And most importantly.......a beer tent. :)

Last night I squeezed in a 5k with Izzie in the stroller. She's 9 mos now and enjoys her rides. That was the first time I have tried to jog with her in her stroller though. Whenever I started running faster, she would make this funny "ooooo" noise. I felt a little like Team Hoyt. I also had the bejesus scared out of me. It was dark and this car kept slowing down behind me and then when I turned around they would turn the corner. A couple minutes later they were behind me again and slowed down. When I turned around they turned the corner again. Finally, they pulled up right next to me and it was too dark to see who was in the car, but I could tell there were four people. I picked up my cell phone and dialed my home number. I wanted to tell Jeff where I was and keep him on the line in case something happened. They rolled down the window and I heard an old man's voice ask me where orchard street was. I think I peed a little. No more running by myself in the dark!
