But I am not surprised because you are very active and your body is used to everything you do. I have not been watching too many of the Olympics because of the time change. I did see a few of the swimming last night (??) and will do again today.

I almost didn't know how to act LOL My bike seat is comfortable, so for my shorter rides (anything under 30ish miles these days), I really don't need any extra padding. But, those 88 miles were a bit extreme...I probably would have had some achiness regardless of how much padding I'd had ;_)Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-49600858610416452042021-07-30T12:57:48.126-05:002021-07-30T12:57:48.126-05:00Honestly, I'm really sad I didn't discover...Honestly, I'm really sad I didn't discover this biking gig years ago, when I was just getting in to distance running.

My family is begging me to get in bed earlier, but I just can't turn it off until it's over for the night! I feel bad for Simone, but I'm enjoying seeing all the other women gymnasts compete- with her gone, it's kind of leveled the playing field for the rest of them.

We watched one guy hit a curb and go flying over the handlebars. He did get up--maybe he didn't feel the pain? Anyhoo, as a former ER nurse, not a fan, at all. But who am I to judge?

I'm glad he's happy and healthy! Glad to hear marathon training is going well. All of the athletes I coach are nervous about their fall marathons. One deferred and entered a different one because Detroit changed it's racecourse to not go into Canada. Sigh.

I think your biking will actually serve you well in your marathon training!<br /><br />I also see kids on the motorized scooter & think in what world is this a good idea, when most kids are really sedentary anyway?<br /><br />I tape the Olympics. There's a lot I haven't seen, too, due to time (can't watch it on the road!), but I've managed to see a good portion of it even so.
