When we got home Saturday night, John suggested that I consider riding the Smoky Mountain Wheelman Century 26 mile route with Robin (October 11). Gulp! I really haven’t been on my bike much and I have my first 1/2 marathon coming up in 7 weeks and well…I can come up with a lot of excuses. So I said okay.
This prompted a 15 mile ride on Cherokee Boulevard yesterday where we found Robin and Dave doing laps on their tandem bike. We don’t see them for months then run into them 3 times in one weekend! John is loving having someone fast to ride with, I am hanging in the back by a thin thread. Finally, the thread broke and I fell behind. It was okay through, just getting through the ride was an accomplishment.
This morning on sore legs, I ran my planned 6 miles. I was surprised, pleased and a little tired when I got through!
