Today was day 2 of the MS Tour de Farms
My friend Carrie rode 35 miles yesterday while John and I did 15....and that was hard.
So when Carrie said, "What time tomorrow are you riding?" I told her I wasn't.
But she did, and rode another 35 mile loop.
I got to thinking about it, and when I hopped out of bed, decided I was going to ride. Just not in DeKalb.
So I did a little ride in the neighborhood, finishing with a 10 mile loop. I did not feel too bad. I figured I was still doing a bike ride, it was Tour de Farms Sunday, I still had my registration number on.... so I could have just been considered a rider a little off track.
Honestly, the 10 miles was hard, especially the last mile. When I rode 15 on Saturday we took a little break, drinking water, having a healthy snack, resting. I did not do that and I think that is why I have such a hard time passing the 10 mile mark.
Maybe I need to bring a little snack with so I can take a 15 minute break every 7 miles or so.
Supper was late and lunch was skipped, so I thought I would make sweet potatoes to go with my salmon and Jackie's hamburger. I went to the store and saw a huge bin of sweet potatoes marked 79 cents. I could have bought one large one, but I opted for two small ones.
I figured the price of 79 cents was per pound, so I was a little surprised when they rang up 79 cents each! I could have save 79 cents by buying one big one instead of two smalls.
Lesson learned.
Hopefully I can work in the gardens tomorrow...gotta pull weeds and do a little planting. But I hate working in the heat and heaven knows I can't get up and going before 10.
It's gonna be hot tomorrow!! Maybe the Cubs will be even hotter in New York!
