Better Late than Never!

Wednesday - 9 Mile Bike Ride with Dad

We decided to take the 9 mile route backwards. Not a bad idea considering we pretty much did that the last 12 mile bike ride. It looks like snow is floating in the air because of the weeds spreading it's seeds around us. There were people riding on both sides of the road. Some people going in the proper direction - with the flow of traffic - and those that were going against traffic.

At one point I told my dad to go ahead of me. I like it when he's in front of me so I can see that he's doing ok. He's going to be 59 in August and while that isn't that old, I still want to make sure nothing happens to him. The whole point of us biking is that he gets some cardio to keep him around longer.

Well, in the future I will be the one in front. We took a turn and he was on the wrong side of the road. He looked back to see where I was and I had already crossed. I'm screaming at him to WATCH OUT because a blue Camero was about to hit him.

It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I didn't have a cell phone on me. He wasn't wearing a helmet. It's my idea to go on bike rides. I'm completely freaked out. He doesn't know this because I ride up next to him saying "so the camero snuck up on you, huh?" He's like yeah I was looking back to see where you were and was trying to cross at the same time.

Note to self: Cell is a must when riding. Yell out when I'm crossing and always be aware!

Thursday: 2 half hour sessions on the stationary bike in the PVC.

I haven't been doing much running lately because of fat pad syndrome in the heel of my foot. It was a bit weird because on my birthday I was wearing flat hard dress shoes around the mall and all of a sudden I feel this pain in my heel. It was very localized in the center. Of course I start researching especially because it didn't go away and still hasn't gone away. It usually happens when your heel strikes something hard. You know you have it when you walk barefoot on hardwood floors or tiles and there's pain in the heel. It feels extremely better in sneakers and walking around in cushioned sandals.

Anyway, I decided I should kill two birds with one stone and bike and read. I was reading the international bestseller - The Energy Bus. It's 150 pages and I got through 50 pages in 30 minutes. I then went into the office and did some work. I knew I had to finish it and refused to sit in the office and just read so I went for another 30 minutes on the bike.

Friday night - Dancing

It's reunions here and it is crazy! It's like an outdoor club for 3 nights. I can't wait to dance some more tonight. :)
