That Little Marathon

Back to Blogging... at least I hope - am trying to do every day in May - although might miss a couple of days when I'm out of town - but every other day!

So today - did a 35 mile 'recreational' bike tour - from the Spectrum to Jamboree, across Santiago Canyon to Bake and back to the Spectrum. As Jan put it - it was challenging - I'm thinking it was HARD!!! Challenging is definitely a good word and I truly wasn't sure whether I could make it - it was a bit of an incline at the beginning and then became even more hilly - which is bad enough - but add in the wind and my allergies and it was almost unbearable - but the payoff was nice - great view and downhill was a lot of fun... and I made it! I'm very proud of myself!

After the event - we had lunch at the Spectrum and as we were
leaving a woman complimented us on our shirts and asked if we had done 'that little marathon!' I found that quite amusing - nothing little about a marathon and no - we did a 35 mile bike ride instead - thank you very much! :)

Hooray, you are back! I too am ready to get back on the bandwagon, many things to tell! Congrats on the "little" event that you did, challenging, HARD, whatever you want to call it, you handled it wonderfully!
