Friday night Bill and I took off for Webster for a "date". I discovered that I left my Garmin charger at my parents' house when I was there for the tri so I it wouldn't last through this ride. I knew I could at least get there, but then would be on my own for the rest of the ride. Looking at the weather I figured it would be hellish going up, but so great coming back. I just had to get there and the work would be done. We stopped at Subway for a quick sandwich, refill of water, and then back on the bikes to head home. I had a lot of great "world problems solved" on the way home. It was great to get that off my shoulders! I was rather worked up and realized almost home that I was really pushing it hard. Sorry, Bill. He made a record mileage on that trip and it was good to get home.
The next morning Rachael and I ran with the Vardos in Ames. What a beautiful morning for a run! We got in the van and the temp read 48 degrees! Wow, I can't remember the last time it was that chilly! We were shivering like crazy in the parking lot before we left. Since the watch was completely dead, I was really running "au natural" on this run. 9 miles of just running. Me and Rachael, then "Waldo" joined us. After a few minutes, I realized that I had run with Mike last time. We had a good chat.
Our run started off a bit slow as usual, then up to about a 10 min pace with a couple ladies - Chris and Kim. We crossed the street, following the people in front of us, but Chris and Kim continued on the same side of the street. We started running a bit faster and eventually caught up to the water break and joined Waldo. He and Rachael helped pull me through the last few miles. I think if it were just me and Rachael out there, I probably would have stopped so it was good we were with a group. I think our pace was a little more like 9:30-9:40, too. The route was a nice rolling hill kind of route - perfect for me! I loved it.
