We all know that biking has pivoted to a prominent spot in my fitness regimen, right?
Believe me, it's a reality I never saw coming. I mean, I've been a runner for over 18 years now. How could something (anything) ever step into (let alone, share) the limelight?
Well, it happened, in a relatively short span of time. And, I'm ever grateful for the experience.
Here we are, on the verge of the official first day of Summer, and I'm eager for what's in store.
Summer is my favorite season, after all. Not just in terms of weather, but also in terms of daylight, color, and outdoor options aplenty. It's all good, save for the fact that the season is far too short.
Alas, that just means we need to appreciate every single day of it! It doesn't hurt to have some fun events and activities to look forward to...
I came. I rode. I conquered. But I didn't do it alone.
As most know, my love for cycling has exploded in recent years. Last summer, I got the wild notion of doing a century ride (and so did a few of my friends). After all, I had ridden 88 miles (and change) in late July, for RAGBRAI. Surely an extra 12 miles weren't very far out of reach.
After almost a year of talking, scheming, and a lot more biking, my first 100-mile ride came to fruition on Wednesday, July 27th.
And, here's the story...
Well, here we are, already, returning to the monthly stop at the Runfessional.
Seriously, it's a good thing we have this little 'fessional fix each month. There's been a lot of #ish going down, and it's beneficial to have a place to rant and rave about it. Besides, it's good for the souls AND soles of us runners.
Shall we get this 'fession festival underway?
