Duathlon Saturday!!! LoL...

Ahhhh.... Today was a beautiful day... The weather was cold, but the sun was out shining bright on everything!!!  Started my day off with a run, it was suppose to be a 6 mile run but I only ended up doing 4.60 miles.  I just didn't have it in me to do the full 6 miles. I think it was mainly because I didn't have company!!  Anyway,  I left my house did about 2.20 miles, hooked up with Shelly and Amy, ended with a 2.40 miles W.O.G (combination walk/jog)  or Galloway Method.  http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/beginners.html  Great method of running... Check it out.

After our run, Shelly and I headed out on our bikes... It was Shelly's first ride... Yep she's not a  VIRGIN any longer, LoL.  OMG!!! It was just an AWESOME ride.  It just felt sooo good to be back in the saddle.  I can really tell how out of shape I am just by riding my bike. The last time I rode my bike was in August, at the Sweet and Twisted Triathalon.  http://www.redlicoriceevents.com/events/ .  So, I am really, really, totally out of shape. I huffed and puffed, like the "little train that could."  I enjoyed every minute of it though!!!  Shelly seemed to be enjoying herself, too.  We rode some back roads heading up to Starbucks.  We stopped at Starbucks, because that's one of my favorite things to do on a bike ride, we had some coffee, and the we headed back home on Hwy 79.  On our way back we did have a JACK ASS moment, combined with a Stand By Me, the movie moment, LMAO!!! We headed into Hutto  down 79, and the shoulder ends, in a  relatively busy and somewhat dangerous stretch of road, there is absolutely no shoulder. It's unfortunate but some of the people driving cars have  no sympathy or respect for cyclists, we wanted to avoid this stretch of Hwy,  so we stop, get off of our bikes and  decide to carry our bikes through the grass so we can just hop over the railroad tracks,and get on the other side of the road. Oh yeah well there wasn't  another side of the road, there is a ditch, and then like a miniature creek that we could not cross over, so the only other alternative is to get on the railroad tracks,and walk over the bridge.  Mind you I don't like heights, I was kinda nervous! You had to be there, it was just one of those things where you ask yourself, "what the hell am I doing"I'm not 12 years old..." It was kinda funny to us...

Anyway, we did our 15.30 miles it was a good workout... It was a GOOD day!
