Today we had another team training, as we do almost every Saturday morning. Originally, we were scheduled to do a 60 minute bike ride. I spent the week looking on Craigslist looking for affordable used bikes that would fit me as well as pedals and biking shoes. I had no idea that biking was such an expensive hobby! I did find a great deal on some clip-less pedals and some used bike shoes, saving me something close to $50 from retail! Thank goodness for Craigslist:)
A generous soul offered me to borrow his Bianchi road bike and we got it all set up for riding-- and then the weather decided to put it's say in the matter. It's been steadily colder each day this week in the Metropolitan DC area- Thursday 25, Friday 19, and today it was 11 degrees out! That's colder than it's been here in a long time! In light of the sub-freezing temperatures, our Team-In-Training coaches decided to change the workout to a run. With the wind, riding bikes would have been unbearable.
We had an injury prevention clinic today before the run though. It was a good idea. Somewhere along the hour long session, I was called up to be the trainer's model. To be brief, let's just say that the few people that were there this morning got to see more of me than they were expecting to, certainly more than I had expected for sure! But everyone got a good laugh from it, and one girl I didn't even know said she felt like she knew me already. HAH! Thank goodness I've been blessed with a sense of humor.
The run went well, but I am really stiff and tight now. Good thing I learned a few new stretches today. I'm gonna need it!
