Finally got on the bicycle

Rainy again but did get out for my sorta long run this morning. Did 6.05 miles in 58:59. I was the only one out and about on the trails this morning, little chilly and a lot wet. After a quick breakfast, changed clothes and made myself get the bicycle out. Not sure of the exact mileage but I did ride the entire trail and then backtracked on the road to get back home so it should be around 12 miles. The Berryhill section was covered with mud in the usual area, got a little squirrely on the road bike when I first hit it because I tensed up. Relaxed after I got spattered with mud and started laughing at myself. You should see my socks!! Yeah, I looked hardcore ;-)
Had one car splash me with a rooster tail of water, I don't want to automatically think the worst but I kind of think she did it on purpose. No wave of apology, just a get off of my road glare.

It is thundering like crazy right now, just one rumble after the other. I don't think we're going to get any more flooding because this cold front is supposed to move through quickly.

Got in 17 miles this week running, finally feel like I'm getting my endurance built back up. Considering the Big Dam Bridge Duathlon on April 27th. Ok, looked at the website and it's limited to 300 particicpants, so just registered online. I'm committed now, really need to work on that cycling part.
