I did my 10K route this morning.  It was warm and humid out again this morning.  I think it's going to be cooling off again in the next couple of days and I'm looking forward to it.  No moon, rather overcast, but pretty daylight colors coming out on my run home.

I enjoyed my bike ride home from school yesterday so much that I decided to ride it to/& from again today.  It made my morning routine really rushed, so I'm going to have to give myself more time if I do it again...no, when I do it again.

I got really lucky riding both ways today.  As soon as I arrived at my destinations, it started raining.  Dry rides, then rain when I finished.  Lucky me!  Severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for the afternoon, so I tried to use my weather forecasting skills to decide if it was safe or not.  I'm not a meteorologist, but I have spent the night at the Holiday Inn Express :-)

9.8 miles on the bike total- not really long, but a good workout for me anyway.

Brent- I know you asked last week also- I'm not training for anything. Just really enjoying being able to run. I like running and sometimes trainIng takes the joy out of it. Just enjoying the journey for now. How sweet it is!

Had a co-worker commit to do an ironman. He wants to volunteer Florida this November so he can get registered for next year. Proud Of his accomplishments so far and his desire to take a stab at such a feat.

Bike rides are fun, but riding in the rain scares me. My tires go one way and my body goes the other way. 10k run then bike ride both ways, sounds like a good workout to me.

So are you going to Florida this November or next? :)

Your Holiday Inn comment cracks me up! I enjoy getting peeks of that comedic mind:)

Love it! A good ride after a run is always fun times :) You can train to run the Boston 5K with me the day before the marathon :) you know you wanna....

Glad the weather is cooperating with you, it must also know about your Holiday Inn stay.

Bye-Wing- I am NOT going to Florida for any triathalon unless it's a Dekker girl reunion.

Terri- It's tempting, but b-day & last week-end with Blackbeard jr. We'll get together one of these weeks.
