July 26, 2008 - Rain

Happy Birthday Mom!

It is raining here today. This is the bike day. I like to knock this out in the morning, but instead, I went to my office for a couple of hours. I have stuff piling up so had to knock a few things out.

I planned to meet Rachael at the Y, work out for an hour with the girls in the "Kid's Zone" and then go to the pool for some family swim time. Problem - the kid's zone closed at 3. Rachael arrived at 3:05. No where for the kids, and the pool has been closed for the day because of the rain. Rachael came back home. I rode the sit-down bike for about 35 minutes, but only covered 7 miles.

I am having definite bike seat issues. I like the real bike style, but after riding last week, my rear end was sore for 2 days. Tried the sit down style to day and I couldn't get comfortable, and can't ride as hard, and I worry about hitting my knees. However, I am not sore, but quit early. I guess I am going to go back to the real bike style and just try to get a callous built up or something.

Please remember Cameron Brown and Sam Turner today. They both have Caring Bridge sites if you want to check out their respective struggles today. Please lift them up in prayer.

Cumulative miles since the start of training: 50.85 miles
