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!

Although they still like to complain every chance they get. 🙂
Lots of dragonflies and gnats on the trail today. I swear I don’t even have to eat dinner (yuck!)

My goal for this year is to do a 100 mile ride. In September there is 100 mile apple orchard ride in Michigan.
That’s about 17 weeks away! A friend sent me a 16 week training guide to work up to 100 miles. Time to get started!

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:

Probably a bit closer to 15 miles here. I noticed that I had paused the tracker at some point and didn’t resume it. There is also about a 1/2 mile of walking in there. Overall it was a good day even if I was solo.

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