Beautiful Day

Today was a GORGEOUS day here in Utah. It was 44 degrees out, so I pulled out my bike and took it for a spin. I went 20 miles in 1 1/2 hours. It wasn't too hot outside, it wasn't too cold, it was just perfect. I enjoyed every second of my ride.

Now, you might think that 20 miles in 1 1/2 hours isn't too bad, but I'm kind of disappointed. When I ride a spinning bike at the gym, I can go 20 miles in 60 minutes. I feel like I should be able to do that on my road bike too.

I honestly just don't understand. Oh well, I will continue to take my bike out when the weather is good and I will eventually improve.

I've Still Got It!

Sunday I was supposed to get up and go run 6 miles. I really wanted to run outside but the air quality here in Utah has been HORRIBLE lately, so that was out of the question. Well, I just couldn't manage to get my butt outta bed to go to the gym to run 6 miles.

Monday, I would've normally run just 4 miles, but since I didn't run 6 miles on Sunday, I had to run a total of 10 miles.

I was kind of concerned about this. I haven't run that long of a distance since October 2010.

I'm kind of impressed with myself. I was able to run 10.1 miles without stopping to walk. Granted, I had to stop for 2 potty breaks, but otherwise, I was able to run the 10 miles! Yay!
