4.24.11 Happy Easter! (Page 2)

It's already Monday here but kind of a funny Easter workout story. I didn't realize it was Easter, showed up for our bike group at 6:30 AM and nobody's there. Went anyway and had fun barreling around our industrial park loop and screaming at stray dogs. Discovered this improves my speed. 40 km inc. one hour of 9 min hard/4 min. easy.  Then did a 50-minute run that actually felt good as I didn't have to face down any dogs. Got home, skyped my family, and discovered it was Easter. Oh yeah, there was a chocolate rabbit in my mailbox on Friday!  Maybe my bike buddies were at church or brunching or looking for Easter eggs. Celebrated with Vietnamese chicken sandwich, mango smoothie, french fries and a massage.

Had a 38 min run planned, but got a stitch about halfway, and had to walk home.  This left me so irritated and out of sorts that at 2:30 AM, I stopped the truck halfway across PA, found a convenient backroad, and suited up for another try.  This time I made it through, and felt a lot better.
