Took Tiny Roo out for the first time since IMFL. He still had his IMFL mileage on the odometer! When I got on, it felt really weird. I had forgotten how different a Tri bike feels from a road bike. It took me a few minutes, but I settled right into it.

It was windy! And since I'm totally our of shape right now, I decided to just let it be a leisurely ride. I've done very little since my knee injury and do NOT want a re-occurrence.

I kept thinking about my teammate Jason out on the bike course at IM Texas and wondering how he was doing.

On the way back I saw these cows and just HAD to stop to take a pic of this little fella with the white face. Cute!

Run
  • 38m 10s
  • 4.04 miles
  • 09m 27s /Mi

Brick off the bike at the little track where I park. I figured running circles on a track would be the best way to check my systems out; in case anything happened, I would not be far from the car.

I felt good, but it was HOT and I am not accustomed to running in heat. I had a water bottle on a picnic table and stopped to get a drink after each mile.

I am encouraged that I am completely healed and just need to build my endurance back up now.

May 13

I can think of no better Mother's Day present than a successfully grown child.  My son, James, graduated Cum Laude from N.C. State University as a Mechanical Engineer this weekend.  He begins his new job (making more money than mom) on June 11.  It is kind of bittersweet.  I am certainly proud of my son, but sad that he no longer needs me and will be taking over his own life now.  But, wow... what will I do with all of the money I'll save?  Tri gear?

 

Where did the time go?
