Excitement!

It was so good being out there with you guys today (even if it was on a bike)! I was so excited about my new bike that I went the whole 9.whatever miles! I really shouldn't have done that because (1) I haven't been on a bike - well I can't remember when the last time was; (2) I have been totally inactive for the last three weeks, not even swimming; and (3) the last time I was out there with you guys was April 28 (7 miles and I only completed 6½)! My knee has been a little sore this week but it didn't bother me at all today while riding. My thighs, however, are a completely different story - no pain - but they felt like jelly when I first got back to Fleet Feet. I think the walking/running is a lot easier for me. I am hoping that the bicycle will really build up my endurance faster than the swimming does.

I finally met Carol (yea!). It was great to meet you and hear some of your "clothing" stories about your past marathons. There are still a lot of you MMers that I haven't actually met, so when I ride by and ask how you're doing, you'll know it's me. Then when we get back to the starting point, please introduce yourselves. Being part of the Curb Crew, I want to know everyone's name without having to read your shirt in Chicago. So if we haven't "officially" met, give me a tap on the shoulder and tell me who you are. It may take a little while, but I'll eventually get it; please bear with me.

I came home after the run, ate a bite and starting cleaning my apartment. I'm so tired, I had to sit for a few minutes before I could continue. But I HAVE to get it done because I have family coming over later this afternoon to "continue" celebrating my birthday! I think I'm getting too old for this @&%$ !!! Maybe I should hit the floor and do the back exercises Wayne gave me. NOT! I'm usually exhausted after those too. Maybe later.

Okay MMers, it's time to get back to the blogging!!! Carol and I are addicted to this blogging thing, but we really need ya'll too! So, BLOG ON MARATHONERS!!!!
