Monday: Run and Bike





So today, I feel totally guilty for saying that rain ruined my life yesterday. After watching the news this morning, it was obvious that my flippancy was inappropriate. While it was rainy and I did not get to watch much coverage of the Kentucky Derby, I was safe and my home and family are intact. Much of Franklin was not so lucky.

Anyway, today turned out to be just lovely. Bright blue skies and lots of sun, it was amazing to think that yesterday and Saturday were such disasters. Now the Swim Complex was closed today, so I had to think of an alternate workout. I was able to go for a nice run, (though technically my intention was not to run until after my triathalon on Sunday) and get in a trainer ride.

My run was nice, though one knee was a little hurty. It is amazing how much I miss running when I don't get to do it. Whenever I say that I am taking time off of running, it is a lot harder than I intend for it to be. It makes me sad not to run, and I apparently just could not take the double whammy of no swim and no run.

I also rode the trainer, though I am having some troubles getting the Garmin to stay charged. It went out while I was not the trainer, and let me just tell you, it makes a trainer ride seem worthless. SO WORTHLESS. I was doing a Spinerval DVD, and I almost couldn't take not knowing how fast I was riding or my heart rate.

Meant to do yoga, but it just didn't happen. I need it, too. Will incorporate that in tomorrow.
