Literally!
Not horse saddle but bike saddle! As in I did a 50 mile hilly ride last weekend, the Tuesday night Conte's hill ride, AND 70 miles yesterday!! Can I get a WOOT WOOT?! OK, it wasn't quite 70 it was 67.5 but close enough! And for the record...I feel great while riding!!! I'm still slow as mollasses getting up the hills, but I am TRI-ing to get faster...TRI-ing to pull up versus pushing down...TRI-ing to figure out the shifting!
Speaking of shifting, my derailler is jacked up. The ride ended yesterday stuck in the granny gears so Penny goes back to the shop tomorrow.
Other then that, my running is lagging. After Musselman I will be going to the Dr about my foot/ankle issue. Or maybe after Marine Corp Marathon since that training starts the weekend of the 19th.
Other Stuff:
Today was the Cancer 2 5K race. I've been volunteering with them for 12 weeks and it's hard to explain the joy I felt watching "my runner" cross the finish line. She pulled her calf earlier this week so the coach told her she had to walk. Well, she wanted none of that so she did intervals and would stop when it really hurt, but kept moving and crossed the finish line running and smiling. I'm so proud of her and ALL of the C25K Runners today!
After the race I went to an Bethesda's awesome Farmer's Market so tonight's dinner is New York Strip with Arugula Pesto (homemade), Arugula/Asparagus/Ricotta Ravioli's with warmed garlic olive oil, and grilled tomatoes with some incredible cheese I bought at the market. BTW - all organic - all clean eating! Can't wait!
Speaking of which - it's time to head to Dude's to start cooking. (Oh, and after much delay, the house will be on the rental market next week)
Oh, and as an aside, I guess I should let you all know...
IRONMAN
ARIZONA

As in, if the Team picks it, I will be toeing the line once again!

AWESOME! All of it. The fact that you are back on the saddle, that you saw your runner on the Cancer 2 5K and that there is a possibility of the team choosing IM Arizonna. (I'm hoping for that one too!) Are you doing the Wisconsin training camp?
Es,
You are my hero. You are so cool and I love your blog. Can't wait to read more.
Thanks so much for being a Pace Leader and SHERPA for CANCER to 5K this season Es! Also thank Dude again for coming to take photos and please apologize to him for me that I introduced him as "Dude" to everybody, I *naively* honestly thought that was his name - LOL!
Woot Woot!
