Run then ride, lotsa ride!

RUN 5 miles in 48 mins
BIKE 31.2 miles in 2:23, around town

Why I felt the need to do all this when I'm signed up for a 5K on Sunday, I dunno. I kept telling myself the 5K shouldn't be more important than everything else, I should be resting, blah, blah.

But then there I was, running early in the morning so I could get on the bike on time. Made the run really easy, felt good. A bit boring but maybe because I was looking ahead too much to the rest of the day.

My goal for the bike was to get at least 2hrs, however I did it. I wanted to spectate at least part of the Macklind Mile, so I looped MoBot before heading there to enjoy a mile down Macklind with few stops because traffic was blocked for the race. Saw IT volunteering and visited with him before going the next block were RM was. Chatted with him and CM until they got busy with traffic, then headed off to the store to see if the tent sale had anything good, like the Adrenaline 15's I've been eyeing online. Would rather buy from the store! No shoes (I gotta call, they were too busy for that request) but did get a Running Nerd purple T-shirt for $10!

From there to the RdP path, out and back then up to work. Brief stop there, then downtown to get my packet for the 5K. From there to the Dollar store when I didn't find my "twice as big bag for a limited time only" soft mints that I found there a week or so ago. NUTS! Woulda been so cheap! But I did find the Tootsie Roll fruit chews --- oh yummy I like these, new race food! And I did find Cotton Candy soft mints from same brand. Then off towards home, adding a few turns and blocks to get close to 34, for some reason 34 miles just sounded good. But the Dollar store bag was pulling on my left hand and I was running low on time and energy.

And before I forget again -- I went to another Dollar Store, found the big bags. Bought 4!

Gotta rest, I have this race tomorrow!
