Well, I've pretty much given up on the Food blog. It kinda wasn't doing anything. I did lose a few pounds, but was that from running & biking or my eating? Who knows.
I did a 67 mile bike ride on June 7th from Preston, IA to Dubuque, IA going through Savannah and Galena and even into Wisconsin. Was supposed to follow that up with a 44 ride on June 8 but it was raining so we hitched a ride back to Preston and drove up to Dubuque to pick up our bikes. :-) It was hilly so I was fine with just doing the one day.
I did the SkirtChaser 5k on Saturday. Women wear skirts with a 3 minute head start ahead of the men. It was fun until .66 miles into it. Then the skirtchasers started catching up. I felt like I was running backwards. On the back of one guys shirt says "I make myself hurt to see you in a skirt" in reference to him running fast.
I only caught one guy who passed me. Near the end he was walking. I felt a little justified after that. Brent never caught up with me though. But he was only a minute behind me though considering that I had a 3 minute head start he caught up quite a bit. My average was 9:20min/mi, his was 8:45min/mi. Way faster than mine. I suck.
It was hot and only one water station half way. Luckily some guy had a sprinkler hose and I ran under it. As I was running, I kept seeing the asses of several girls. I was so worried that people could see mine! I made sure mine was sitting low on my hips though. The pocket of the skirts didn't work well with the ipod. Came out and I almost kicked it! It's best for gels I guess. I also had a wedgie the entire time. I didn't exactly want to pick it out in the middle of the run!
They also had a fashion show at the end. I like the cycling shorts and the shorties and panties. I might have to pick up one of each. I don't like wearing my cotton undies on my runs when I wear my tights (and I haven't worked up to going commando yet).
I don't have a race for the rest of the summer until end of August. I might have one on the 28th but only if we can make it back to Iowa. There's one on July 12 but it's hot and we might be going to St. Louis that weekend as well. I'll be fine with that though, save my money so I can buy more running outfits! ;-)
