Lots of destruction and water on the trail today from the storms this weekend.  Had to circle between the two flooded underpasses to get my mileage in.  That’s what happens when you live in between a bend in the river.  Luckily The Other was very patient with my constant stops to take pictures.

I’m sitting here after my workout just going crazy with the itches.

I am trying to avoid allergy pills before biking because I want my lungs to grow stronger and my meds give them an unfair advantage. I have taken a pill now though so I will see how long it takes to kick in. (spoiler alert – I didn’t actually take a pill cause lazy)

In other news tons of birds,  bugs,  and chipmunks on the trail today.  They like to get in my way.

Maybe next time I’ll take my new friend.

Yes I put googly eyes on some garlic,  and don’t tell me you aren’t thinking of things in your kitchen that need googly eyes.

OMG gotta go I hear the ice cream truck!

10th ride – woohoo!!!  I was feeling great. Then around 3 miles I felt like I was gonna die!
The Other and I took a break at the 5 mile mark to enjoy the lake and the beautiful weather at Independence Grove.
The ride home was pretty easy so I must have gotten a second wind.  Bit by bit!

The Sweetest Thing!

May 30 was The Other’s and mine 5 year anniversary! That in itself is a big milestone but it comes after being together for 12 years so you are looking at a 17 year total there! Amazing!!!

We received lots of congrats from friends and extended family but those closest to us really know the way to our hearts:

anniversary gifts

Roadtrip!

There is nothing better then a long weekend trip with a best friend.  (Don’t tell Pothole, we are going to the vet)
