I'd decided to run the 5-miler at Stewartville Summerfest, but not race it so as to not aggravate my "hip thing". When I headed down there, the rain started. I decided I'd run anyway and the rain let up minutes before the race started. Whew! But not the humidity ... really miserable. About 99%. Sultry. I ran a 37:24. S-l-o-w. But that was my intention. Didn't tweak anything!! I toodled around Stewartville until I had in just about 9 miles (mostly to keep warm!) while the 3-milers were running and before they did awards.
Judy and I had planned to go for a 3-hour bike ride after Stewartville. But the off and on rain and unpleasant weather conditions just wouldn't let up. So she decided to bag it. Matt and I went to the garden and picked peas instead. LOTS of peas. About 3 gallons. Guess what I'm going to do today??
Also got lots of broccoli, sugar snap peas and kohlrabi.Well, Judy called mid-afternoon wondering if I still wanted to ride. I did! She had to finish up what she was working on at work and then would head over to my house. So I tinkered around in the yard and we set out about 4:30. Got done at 7:20. I was pooped! But we had a good ride. Mission accomplished. Had I swam .9 miles, I'd have gotten in my 1/3 Ironman ... (I'm going to open water swim today) After the ride, I was pretty hungry and was craving ... yup, a salad.
Mixed greens, a nectarine, raspberries, blueberries, red onion, sugar snaps, almonds. Should have added a protein source.More later ... another even busier day today ...
