Back on Track

So since last Thursday things have been quite busy. My father was up from Florida for the week and we had alot of plans for Friday and the weekend. Friday my brother, my dad and myself tried to go fishing but the motor for my boat would start to overheat if I went above 4000RPMs and the chop was bad. So it justed ended up being a nice boat ride. That night we meet up with my Uncle and went to Mohegan Sun in Ct until 2:00am. The next day we had a small little bbq for my father. It turned out to be lots of fun, great food and great company! That night we all went to a bar in Westerly to hear my brothers band play. Again another late night. Sunday was basically a recovery day. Took the kids on a little walk to a playground, the went out to eat at the local seafood resturant with Kim, Dad and my uncle. Then for the rest of the day we just hung around the house and didn't really do anything.

Today it was back to the weight loss, 5K training. I decided that I would ride my bike to the Y and then continue on to Narragansett beach. It was hot today so before I left, I drank 2 glasses of water. The Y is about 2 miles away with a few little hills. It was a quick ride, but the heat was slowing me down a bit. Once at the Y I just jumped on the first treadmill I could find and ran 2 miles, 1.5 incline in 21 mins. The run seemed easy. I think the bike ride to the Y warmed up my legs. Cool!

After the run, I jumped onto my bike and went down to the beach. Stopped at a market and picked up a bannana and a powerbar which I ate sitting on the wall that was overlooking Narragansett Beach. By the time I got home, my legs were aching. Today was the first time I combined running and riding.

After the long weekend, I am back on track!
