weather has been amazing since Saturday... after a long winter, I knew it wouldn't be long before I'd get the urge. No, not that urge...
I got my road bike back out on the road :) Terron is enjoying Spring Break, and he asked me if I'd take him out for a ride... hell ya! So after work, I found the pump, pumped up all the tires, gathered our helmets, and we were off.
It would have been nice to add some speed, but it was nice being out there with him. Truth be told, I'm still a bit nervous being clipped in, on a busy side street nearing heavy traffic time, having to pay attention to not only myself, but my son. With my race being less than 2 weeks away, no need for more stitches like what happened last year.
ART session was good last night, a bit of mild tightness in my ITB, he got right in there, and am feeling great today. Went out for a 'lunchtime quickie' -- 5k, average heart rate 159, max 169. So wonderful to be outside with no jacket, no gloves, no toque... finally.

Yay! I wore shorts today when I was running. I wish I had a road bike!
Just the thought of biking next to cars is terrifying. Be safe!
Love that picture. Yay for getting to be outside!
Tell me about the great weather. It's like I've died and gone to "shorts heaven". So overdue.
I'm not ready to get clipped in - too much commitment!
Love that pic.
OH we road outside too - it was so great. Glad you guys were able to get out there!
Is that grass i see before me in the photo!
It must be great for you to get outside now!
LOVE the pic!! That's a keeper!
Being on the bike is like finding freedom and it is so empowering. Stay safe until your race.
xoxoxox
I took the clips off my bike. I'm too much of a hazard to myself to leave them on right now.
Gotta love the warmer weather!
I am nervous about riding my bike and I don't have clips. Ha!
Yay to the nice weather and the great ride.
I'm waiting for G to comment about "the urge" LMAO!
Honestly when you said "urge" I was thinking along the lines of peeing hehe
Love the picture! Glad it is warming up our there for you. Yay for spring!
Yay for being outside!! And YAY for ART!! I LOVE me a good ART session!
What a great day! Love the picture too.
Hooray for Spring! I love spinning, but I'm not sure how I would feel about being clipped in on a busy road like that...I'm a little scared to try it.
I'm loving the warmer weather. I've never been "clipped in". One of my friends broke her ankle the first time she tried it, and I'm leary of it ever since...

Wow, sistre, you have the presence of mind to notice your heart rate during a "lunchtime quickie"? I'm usually too busy going "Yeeeee-haw!!1!" and "Ride 'em, cowboy!" to notice that!
Especially on those rare occasions when there's another person involved.
I wish I had been able to get out for a run yesterday - just couldn't squeeze it in. At least we know spring is on the way.
AWESOME that you guys got out for a bike ride. Love the shadow pic, too.
And yes, PLEASE be careful. You know how I worry about you. :)
A quickie and and ride, don't you just love warmer temps? Practice makes perfect, even with the clips.
after all that snow shoveling it's about time you had some gorgeous weather :) love that you guys were able to get out for a bike ride!
yayyy for good weather!! :)
I love your pic! Wonderful that it is finally warming up. I'm with you on the clips... I wear them but am still not 100% comfy with them yet. Enjoy!
How fun to ride bikes with your kiddo! I've never tried to ride with clips, but I know I wouldn't like them. I would feel trapped. I'm glad the weather is getting nice for you!
Yeah for sunshine!! Love the pic!
Literally like learning how to ride a bike again. I jsut pulled mine out for the first time since october, so nervous on the streets, haha
