ole bessy rides again...9wks out!!!!

Well,its been a busy few days...Thursday,Friday Saturday and this morning i got in 30-40 minutes of FMC.

yesterday was my first baby girls 5th birthday and i was able to stay on point with nutrition despite cupcakes and cookies on the counter and ice cream and pushups in the freezer....

it was a great day for my alex though,we had lots of fun doing what she wanted to do. next weekend is her b-day party,so it will be more b-day celebration fun,and be being around 14

4 and 5yr olds......its gonna be fun!

i was going to do a BRICK yesterday afternoon,but my oldest started running a fever. so while daddy took A to dinner,me and the other 2 stayed at home and played Wii
:)
AND today was my first mini outdoor BRICK session (Bike+Run+ICK) in 1.5 yrs.
i drug out ol Bessy from the garage-had hubby fix the warped handle bars and pump up the tires........

she's a classic,eh?
this ol jalopy has seen better days,let me tell ya! the wheels are warped slightly but not horribly,so its still rideable.

leave it to me to pick a HILLY route to try this at.
close to 20 hills i think,2 of which were about 600m long....

anyways,part 1 of BRICK

bike: 10 miles ~43:20
IMMEDIATELY went in for a 5k run.

time-21:41


at first i wasnt sure about the time, but when i drove the route again,i was right.

the first mile was the hardest,because my legs were shot from the hilly bike course,on a bike that is on its last leg (eh,wheels?)

and then that first mile is just a steady incline-the rest of the way was rolling hills...

that gives me some sort of hope,because the triathlon course is flat.
hopefully i will be LOTS faster in 7 weeks from now!

anyways,tomorrow its back to the daily grind,normal time with lil M in child watch.keeping fingers crossed she stays reasonably healthy...

will try to post pics next weekend....

will leave yall with a song from Mary J Blige-
i did not know i had this song in my ipod and it clicked on just when i was wanting to stop and walk Ole Bessy up the hill!
also a good song in general-can relate to it,as im sure most girls can....
