This has been once CRAZY week. Fun, but super crazy and actually more like 10 days. May 27th was the kids' last day of school. We headed out to Moab for some warmer weather, spent two days in the national parks, hiked around, got blown around, and earned two Jr. Ranger badges and 1 bonus badge for knowing about the crusty dirt. It was fun weekend.
Then, it was Memorial Day. I went for a practice ride on my bike (40 miles) and then came back to laundry, dishes, house cleaning, etc. We did break away and run to the movie that night. I had to leave at 4:00 a.m. the next day to catch my flight to Boston for a conference.
The rest of the week consisted of working, conferences, summer school, and a whole lot of nuttin'. Today, however, was quite excited (at least for me). I've been training for a cycling ride for a couple of months. Today was the day of the ride. I was registered to go 35 miles but feel so good, I changed my mind and went 57 miles! It was so much fun!! After the ride, we went and picked up a used bike for Wells. He has promised that he will ride a half century (50 miles) with me at the end of the summer. I think we will both be able to go further than that but 50 miles is a good goal.
Here are some photos.
Me five minutes before my distance was called. Notice my coordinated outfit!! I got the bike first and then had to go out and get everything else...and it had to match. My fam thinks I'm crazy.
57 miles later and I am still smiling! I really didn't expect that. If any of you ladies are up to it, we should create a team next year! :)
