10 miles of running > 20 miles of cycling

today's schedule: rest or easy run or cross train


i didn't want to take zumba since it's 14 days to the race and my right knee has been bothering me. figured i'd give my joints a rest and go for a ride. i'm testing out a new saddle, and it's much better than my old one!


what i forgot is that i'm not a good cyclist. it started out fine... i practiced taking the water bottle out while riding (yes, i'm that bad). at mile 15 i decided that i could do a hill~ a real hill. it's the hill i drive by the hills on the way to track. not sure if i was tired or i psyched myself up, but i only made it half way. i didn't want to tire my legs out or strain my joints.


i think the ride made my calves tighter... knees are fine though. oh yeah, next bike purchase - new handlebars!

20 mile bike ride
a long time!
