I think cycling is a great way to build up cardio endurance without pounding your body like running does, so I definitely think it has a role in marathon training — especially when it’s not your first. <br /><br />Thanks for joining us for coffee!

Even when I have my phone on silent, the reels come through loud and clear (which makes ZERO sense to me). I do like a mix of pics and videos (or reels), but I just wish there was a way to make watching them optional (like a "start" button to actually make them play). It seems like once I accidentally see a reel, then I see LOTS of them ...and that is really annoying.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-84422522089002455262021-07-02T21:55:45.029-05:002021-07-02T21:55:45.029-05:00When I do make it to a Starbucks, and order a chai...When I do make it to a Starbucks, and order a chai latte,' I'm always surprised when they ask me if I want that hot or cold.

In fact, as I haven't had enough this morning (yet), I initially read that you've incorporated some "baking" as part of your training, instead of biking, lool!

I have a bunch in my house too and am always cutting them down as they tend to grow way so tall.<br /><br />June has been a decent month for me.

I always keep my sound off when I'm on IG, so if people talk I don't hear what they're saying, but the music doesn't bother me since I don't hear it. I like a mix of pictures and reels, but I don't like it when IG shows me ONLY reels on my feed. It's like too much to take in at once.
