Last week and this week

Last week:

44 miles cycled on the stationary bike. Including my longest of 15.65 miles in 60 minutes. My bum hurts.

CB and I took a walk yesterday to enjoy the beautiful weather.


We went to the grant bark park where he had fun chasing a tennis ball. (he would have preferred the frisbee, but the park is concrete and would tear his paws up)


I love seeing him so happy :)



This week

With the conclusion of my 8.1 mile cycle workout this morning, I hit 300 miles for 2012. Its probably the most consistent I've ever been, but since 2/3 of the miles are from cycling, I would like to see a higher number.


Tonight is the Nike run loud event at Fleet Feet Sports, which is the kickoff to the Shamrock Shuffle. The event features group runs of 3-5 miles and some more info about run Nike Loud- I think there is some sort of bracelet involved. It also integrates with Facebook to provide training updates- as if I already don't overload my friends with running crap. Lol

So today I read my horoscope.. I don't believe in that stuff, but thought this one was interesting.


So if there was any doubt in my mind as to if I should attend the group run, my horoscope today squashed all negativity towards it. I've never been a fan of large group running. I like running solo most of the time, and joining others as a nice change every so often.

Tonight I plan to run an easy 3 miles with the group to test my wonky hip. It will be the first run in over 2 weeks and I'm pretty darn excited about it.


I bet when I'm done I'll have a big smile like him :)

How was your weekend? Anything exciting planned for this week?

  3. Love all the great pictures of CB, he looks so happy! Hope your wonky hip is feeling less wonky and more normal. I didn't do anything too exciting over the weekend, but I did clean my pantry, it was a bad bad mess!
