On The Road Again

Yesterday and today were nice bike rides (mostly). This Saturday I'm riding 15 miles for Climate Cycle so yesterday I wanted to see if I could do at least 12. Things were going great until mile 7 when the skies opened up and it rained pretty hard. Riding in the rain is never fun. Today I rode the 3.5 miles up to Century Mall for my WW meeting. It was a nice afternoon and only rained a tad.

Tomorrow I'm going to do a light run on the treadmill at school but otherwise take it easy in prep for the ride on Saturday.

Things are getting tougher

So today was supposed to be a 2-mile run. I didn't make it the whole way. I probably ran about 2/3 of it or so. I just did not have the energy. I also had some pain in my shins and ankles. Monday will be another 1.5 mile day at Fleet Feet, with a rain-free forecast for once. I'm considering looking into using energy gel packs. I tried one the other day before a run on the treadmill. I'm not sure it helped all that much but I think it helped a little. We'll see.
