I thought I was going to have to spend most of this weekend prepping for a big hearing on Monday. So I was pretty bummed to wake up to the nicest, sunniest day we've had all year. Until I checked my email and learned that my hearing has been rescheduled -- hooray! Which left the whole day for Big Wild Fun.
Without entirely intending to, today I did my own triathalon of sorts:
- First I took Truman to the dog park for a run. We only went a mile, because the park is nasty and muddy. But there was running.
- Then I went to the West High pool to practice not looking like I'm drowning. I need a lot more practice in that skill, incidentally.
- Then this afternoon I took the bike on its longest ride yet. I'm not exactly sure of the distance, but I think it was 7-7.5 miles. This is not far for most people, I realize, but it's far for me (see previous post re: pathological fear of biking). The shoulder is definitely a little achy, but nothing too terrible.
So there you have it. My own private triathalon.
My crazy heart rate monitor (coolest gadget ever, by the way) insists that the 3 activities combined burned 850 calories. If that doesn't say "big yummy dinner in my future", I don't know what does!
