Friday: rest? i don't remember...I think I blew off my swim?
Saturday: ran 12! fun race, we got great weather. I ran faster than i expected.
Sunday: swam ~half mile open water
Monday: biked a slow 2 hours, fell over on my bike on a slippery wooden bridge. Am bruised, need a new helmet. Yay helmets! Dented helmet>>>>dented head!

Had a in house made "poptart" at a well loved local breakfast joint after my race on Saturday and it was GOOD. Definitely hit the spot. And MH made me a delicious homemade pastrami sandwich (we smoked it on Saturday) on Sunday after my ride.

lilypad1126 Thank you!!

wawa Glad you had your helmet on! As you said, a new helmet is better than damaging your one head!

Fri - swam 112 laps, biked 2.6 mi, did a 30 min Yoga w Adrienne session while I was on a passive conference call (will definitely repeat that!)
Sat - ran 8.75 mi, we all got flu vaccines
Sun - biked about 6 mi w my kids
Mon - ran 3 mi w my kids, 2 mi family bike ride

BQ - The best food of the weekend were these awesome local peaches and honey crisp apples from the Farmers Market, and my husband made chocolate chip cookies to take to our friends’ (though we wound up not going because of the rain - more for me!). It’s just the Nestle recipe with half the white sugar substituted for brown, and he bakes them a minute or two short, but they are seriously the best things ever.

Fri: nothing
Saturday: Nothing
Sunday: Barbell Medicine Powerbuilding week 4 day 1 + accessories
Monday (counts as part of the weekend to me!): "week 4 day 2 + accessories and 20 mins HIIT

BQ: some cheesecake from a relative's fundraiser (we've had it in the freezer for months), a delicious ribeye

Friday: 14.25 mile bike ride
Saturday: 11.4 mile bike ride
Sunday: A 45-minute walk/run combo (I didn’t bother tracking distance)
Monday: A five-mile hike

I just want to say that I learned to ride a bike only 11 months ago, and I’m super proud of myself that I rode 25 miles this past weekend (the 14-and-change miler was my longest ever!) I love riding and only wish I had learned sooner — OTOH it’s never too late!

Happy birthday, sadlebred!

I mostly did a lot of running (Friday, Saturday, and Monday).
On Sunday I went for a walk and did a Peloton ride.

The weekend weather was great. We grilled and had family over.

On Sun I ran my first race since ... late 2016?  I spontaneously signed up for a 7 mile race while on vacation.  It was more "do the run" and less "race," but it felt so good!

[sadlebred]

goldengirlz That is awesome! I love hearing how much new riders love cycling!
