Good Training Weekend

Hey All

Had a great training weekend.  Saturday morning saw me on my bike at 7:00 a.m. for 4 hours.  My trainer buddy stopped to tell me he bought a kinetic trainer like mine.  My new little girl friend stopped by to say hi and to tell me she got a new "big girl" bed with a white blanket and an elderly gentleman enquired if I had gone 100 kms yet.  Even the maintenance guys are getting in on the act.  When I had 7 minutes left to ride, he told me not to hurry - that the gym stayed open until 4:00 p.m.

I was worried when I did not see Ron but eventually I heard a knock on the glass and there was Ron waving hello.  Coach Paul stopped in as usual to see how I was doing and to drop off my cycling program for next Saturday. 

Sunday saw me running 20 kms with Elaine Darling and Liz Valiant.  Now my schedule said 14 kms but I had run 16 the week before and felt I was up for it.  Sunday's run with these two chicks was one of the best I have ever had and is going to be firming entrenched in my memory for those days that my run sucks.  The pace was perfect, the weather was great, and the company was outstanding.  The kilometres flew by and before I knew it we were turning around.  Since we are all training for Around the Bay, Elaine save some hills for us at the very end of our run.

Tonight I am back on my bike for an hour and then in the pool at 9:00 p.m.  This week is expecially busy for me because I need to get my bike in for a fitting and tune up before it jumps in Coach Paul's trainer for its trip to Florida.

Later, Lisa
