I fit in 3 bike rides this week and felt really good on the long ride this weekend. Even with the hilly Iowa route.
With a slow start to the week, I was afraid I would only get in one swim, but I still squeezed in 2 long swims! I borrowed some paddles from Kelly so I've been practicing with those too.
The bad
It rained on me for a few miles on my long bike ride. No lightening thankfully, but enough to get my shoes and clothes soaked. I feel like I must have reached some sort of new initiation level into the cycling club.
The ugly
Running. First, I only managed one run in the week and I'm supposed to do 3. The run that I did do was run on one of those extremely hot and humid day and I was so, so slow. Sweat kept dripping into my eye and it was burning. I couldn't wipe the sweat off because my shirt was already soaked. A guy even yelled out his car window at me to "not get too hot out there". I came home and wrung out my shorts before hanging them in the bathroom to dry and they still made a puddle on the floor. I am happy I did get out there to run though.
Last weekend, was the Great Jones County Fair, which Matt and I look forward to going to every year. I did get a chance to talk to some old friends I haven't seen in awhile and I really enjoyed that. Matt and I split an order of ribbon potatoes. Although they were delicious, my stomach did not appreciate the grease. Argh.
Sunday morning I skipped my run in favor of 9 holes with my dad. I let my dad when this time. I haven't been out golfing much this year so it was nice to play again. I wish I had the time to play more, but training usually takes priority.
What's your favorite fair food? I love corn dogs and funnel cakes but those things do serious damage to my stomach these days.
I did see some fried Twinkies this year, but I don't think those would be very delicious.
