Day Dreaming of Dry Days
It has been 12 days since I last rode Vlad. Coincidentally enough, it has also been 12 days since we last saw the sun. Oh wait, I think it broke through the clouds for approximately 4 minutes today and once for 15 minutes last Tuesday. In all reality I am dying to ride my mountain bike. He's getting lonely hanging out on the bike stand in the basement. Poor Vlad. Poor me.
I know some people embrace riding in inclement weather, I however have not reached that level of oneness with the rain. I can ride in the snow, winter winds, ice, and cold with no problems. When it rains, though, I just cringe at the thought of getting on my bike and riding at high velocities while soaking wet. Hypothermia is not fun for me.
On the other hand, I have no qualms about running in the rain so that has been the training plan as of late. One of my co-workers and I have been meeting at the office at 6 a.m. three times a week and running between 4-6 miles...in the rain. I cannon lie - I am really enjoying our runs and getting a workout in prior to the work really energises me for the duration of the day.

I thought of you this morning as Kyle was running a trail race at Mendon. There was a Duathlon going on at the same time. I stood just outside transition watching with amazement as each athlete transitioned. When Kyle finished his race, he must have read my mind and asked if you ever do duathlons. I hope you get some good riding weather soon!
Thanks Carly! Me too! I am amazed with Kyle's athleticism - he should try duathalons! (I on the other hand am too slow in the running part to actually race on foot - I love racing on bike though :)
We need to get coffee (chai) soon...
