Taking a rest...

The tandem wasn’t ready yesterday so we didn’t have it for riding this morning. This will be the first day in 2 weeks I haven’t ridden. I think I need a rest. Yesterday we rode a very fast ride down to Fayetteville. I cruised as fast as I could but wasn’t far ahead of the group. Without getting some routine rest, I haven’t advanced as much as I would have thought. Bev and I will ride in the century at Montgomery Saturday. This will be her first organized event. Although we plan on riding only 30 miles, she will get to see what it is all about. Having that many people riding along with us may be a bit uncomfortable for us. I say us because although I’ve ridden with lots of folks, the tandem doesn’t maneuver as quickly and you can get some bad moments. I think it will be a blast. There is always the chance of meeting some like minded folks. Having breakfast prepared and snacks along the way is always nice. Then to finish up with ice-cream, yum!

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day.

Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

By
So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
