1st 50 miles!

Ted, Kurt, Ryan, Jules, Amy & I started out on a gorgeous ride today with 51 degree temps (what a nice change!) This morning was the longest ride I have ever done! 50 miles! Actually it was just shy of 52. That's half of the JDRF ride in August...granted, we won't be going as hard (I hope) as we did today during some of the ride, but *WoW* 52 miles is a long ride. 4 of us were out for 3 hours in the saddle. Honestly, though, I can't imagine a few more miles on top of that ride, and then, getting off the bike and running a half marathon!

Kudos to Ryan who got himself a new bike and did an amazing job keeping up and going hard. He missed a sharp turn in Niantic when we were on the Niantic Tri route, blew right past the sharp turn--so excited to be flying down that hill! He did great!

I was tired and hungry all day. Cat napped here, nibbled there. That portabella mushroom panini for dinner hit the spot.

Tomorrow, we have our ladies run - 8 miles at the crack of dawn - LOAF that! Haven't checked the weather but I hope it's going to be mild like this morning, makes it much more enjoyable.

We missed the Friday 5 a few times-- oops. We'll catch up this week.
