Yesterday, the weather did this crazy thing… it was really weird.
THE SUN CAME OUT!
AHHH! I am not sure if I could have ever been so excited to see the sun shining in my life. I did a happy little dance and then…
Went for a run! WOO HOO! Drew even came to visit for most of the week so we BOTH went for a run!
It may be cloudy in the back, but I was basking in the glory of the sun coming the other way!
So yay I’m out for a run…but guess who’s out of shape???
Yup. This girl. Holy crap!
The humidity yesterday for sure didn’t help considering I haven’t run in humid weather since…well since last fall…but still I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest the entire run-not a fun feeling! This made me realize that it really doesn’t take long at all to get out of run shape- curses. Also I was super sore from my new body pump routine so that totally didn’t help anything, but I almost passed out DID IT!
After my run, we set out to fix Little Blue! And by we I mean I watched Drew do it.
hi little blue! no i haven’t been neglecting you, you were just a little broken and i needed someone to help me- that’s all!
So basically since Drew was visiting..and he was going to help me change Blue’s tire that has needed changed for oohh like 3 weeks..haha oops. but i really didn’t know how to do it so I got a “Flat Tire Lesson”
Drew: “So then you blah blah blah, take this thingy out and put this thingy in and yadda yadda…” (lots of words/parts i don’t really understand…I’m not very handy or am capable of fixing things).
Me: “Don’t worry I understand everything you are saying, and when I’m stranded with a flat in the furthest possible distance of my bike ride- I’ll totally be able to do it all on my own!”
I’m not sure he’s convinced.
Okay so, I might need more practice! But uh, that will come later…
all fixed up! 🙂
So then Drew and I went to ANOTHER bike shop yesterday (we know how to party). and then we went to the movies to see The Avengers! Which was awesome! If you haven’t seen it please do! I love Robert Downey, JR. he was so great in it. It was totally funny in unexpected spots!
Anyways- Today on Drew and I’s list is to go down to Inner Harbor in Baltimore! It’s only about an hour from where I live and I haven’t been in a few years so I’m really excited! Also I think the sun will be shining again!!
What is everyone up to on this Wednesday? What is your workout going to be? Mine will be doing all the walking around Baltimore! Also, anyone have any flat tire incidents they want to share!?

Hope you understand Drew’s instructions 😛 , cycling after running is absolutely awesome, sometimes I do that, last Monday I did 5 kms running, then 15 cycling and to end 5 more kms runnin again, greetings from Spain and keep enjoying
haha yes…guess i’lll find out if I understood 🙂
Yay for the sun!!!! Have a blast in Baltimore today, can’t wait to hear about it! 🙂
sunshine makes everything better!!!
I’ll be hitting up BodyPump after work. My favourite instructor is back from vacation, so it should be a good one!
Enjoy the sun! After several nice days, it’s kind of dreary here, but then supposed to be sunny and nice until the end of the weekend. Woo!
i love body pump!!! i missed it today because of the day trip to b-more but will get one in on friday!
Learning to change my own flat tire was a process but I sure got good at it after my bike trip. Glad you got some sun!
Oh i can tell it’s gonna be something I might just have to learn on the go lol…:-D it was a beautiful day here again thankfully!
Good for you guys! I have few stories to share although one that sticks out is being miles away from civilization while riding in the English countryside and getting a flat. Ended up stuffing the tire and tube with leaves and other “stuff” to limp back home. Never has a cold beer tasted as good after a long ride!
OMG that sounds awful! i feel like something like that would happen to me lol i would need a few beers after that for sure
I know how you feel about being sore! I took a class yesterday and I am SO sore today, I couldn’t believe it haha. Glad you have some sun, its been super rainy and cloudy here. Boo!
Omg second day soreness too ugh! I am so tired of the rain and clouds so i hope it stays like this for a while 🙂 sending the sunshine your way!
Ugh-I am terrible at changing tires. My mountain bike tires are tubeless, so very rarely do I have to change them. But, the road bike tires-such a pain.
they are such a pain- i feel i might be learning as i go lol hopefully it won’t be too bad!
I’m not entirely convinced it was actually sunny, but it’s nice to pretend sometimes. haha, just kidding. I’m not a cyclist and that’s one of the reasons I don’t want to get into it, laziness and too much equipment. It’s sad really.
haha i totally wonder why i do something that requires you to be skilled in fixing things- cause bikes ALWAYS break!
