Got In A Bike Ride.....

A bit lax on updating as of late due to a well needed vacation. I've signed up for a fall triathlon so it's back in the pool and back on the bike.
I managed to ride about 8 miles yesterday and in return my bike (Nash) got a bath.
My weight held steady during vacation week, despite a couple of pizza dinners at Bugsy's and a wing dinner at Murphy's Grand Irish Pub. All of the walking around Washington DC must have helped to keep the scale in check.

TGIF????

 I took the day off from work..not from phone calls or e-mails but from work. I started out at the gym with a 2.5 mile run and then back to the house for a power breakfast of oatmeal and protein powder. Around 11 or so I was bored as all get out and decided to go for a bike ride......as they said in the frontier days "Go West young man, go West" so I decided to heard for the "River of grass"....the Everglades. Growing up in South Florida I spent a bunch of time milling around in the "Glades", fishing, air-boating

and just general growing up. There's a dike that separates the "Glades" from the town and it goes on for miles and miles. I bet it's been 30 years since I'd been out this way..........I rode down the dike for 7 miles...nothing but exotic birds, a few gators and one noisy air-boat. 14 miles later I was back at the car and hungry......nothing beats a 6' double meat Turkey sub from Subway.

Later that evening we went and walked a few miles at "Relay For Life" in honor of my Father. The weather was perfect as the setting sun framed the cancer survivors as they walked the first lap. I'm really astounded by the number of folks who have been touched by cancer.
We grabbed a late dinner at Buffalo's to round out a day off from work.
