bike + run

okay, okay. so I didn't go on a ride yesterday. I didn't do anything, actually. for personal reasons this was a day of rest and reflection.

so this morning I was determined to get on that bike. if only to ride it to work. so I pumped up the tires and headed out the door, only to realize hills aren't so fun when you aren't quite in bike shape. and my ride to work is all. up. hill. but maybe that's good for me.

after the ride home -- okay, who are we kidding. after reading the blogs -- I decided to go out on a little run. this was the first run post marathon. overall it was okay. not great. not even good. just okay. my right big toe hurt. you know that feeling that the joint in your toe just needs to pop? yeah, it was like that. it was a very random, out of no where type of thing. and other than that my legs just felt kind of like dead weight for most of the run. I just tried to take it slow and enjoy the moment.

it didn't help, either, that I've been feeling kinda yuck all day. my stomach is going all wonky on me. maybe it was the salmon tamales we had for dinner last night. who knows.

anyway, I went running! and I rode my bike! yeah!!
