Well, welcome back, it’s been a few days since I’ve posted and I have a lot going on. We can start with the mood, doing great, seem to have a lot of extra energy, you’ll see what I mean when I tell you what I’ve done this weekend.
Friday – Date night, had to visit a friend at a funeral home, he lost his uncle. It was sad, but in a better place now, lots of pain he has been going thru. After that out to dinner with my beautiful wife. Fridays are typically my rest days, so no running or biking.
Saturday – Pool time, My son wants the pool up for his grad party, so Saturday was the day. Wasn’t too bad, I was able to get him and my wife to help with putting it up. So it went up much easier than the typically me doing it all by myself. O-rings ARUGH! they were dry rot and I have to buy new ones. But none of the stores carry this brand, so I have to wait for my online order to be delivered, got a little bit of a leak right now, because of the seals not being good.
Saturday – Part 2. Softball time, told a guy I would sub for him, did that for my first game, then I had my own 2 games. Finished up around midnight on Saturday. But we did win all 3 games, so that makes a long day worth it.
Sunday – Fathers day, Beautiful weather up, early for church, back home for a couple hours, then off to the Trail. I love this trail, it’s about 35 minutes from my house, a 10 mile trail it’s beautiful. So off I went on my Mt. Bike. rode a great time, it was about 52 mins for the 10 mile trail, I did skip two of the difficult sections, but still felt great. Then back to car, pack up the bike, change my shoes, get a cliff bar, a GU, grab my hand held water bottle, and off I was running. 4 miles, about 40 minutes, not a blazing speed, but after 10 miles on the bike I’m not expecting much.
Few things I wanted to Note while I was running and riding.
- If a bug flies into your helmet. STOP, take off the helmet and get that freaking bee out of there. Yea, that was early on the ride, glad I stopped, didn’t want to deal with a bee stinger in my head.
- If the trail in a single track with one way posted, DON’T go the wrong way while riding. And if you are riding the wrong way, maybe you should wear your helmet. Yup had that happen to me, luckily I always have my head up looking, and I was able to avoid a head on collision.
- Running on Mt. Bike trails. PLEASE Go against the flow of the bikers. Nothing bad happened today, but just wanted to point out that I always do this, it makes for a more enjoyable run and it’s way safer. You can see the bikers coming, you are able to get out of the way and wait for them to pass. Most of them are polite and say Hi and thanks. Enjoy it, because when you are riding, you want the same from the runners.
