Interesting past weekend. Good, Bad, Scary:
Good: I've been working on getting 4 miles of running in under 30 min. So on Saturday I did it in a little over 34 mins! Woot! I wasn't too tired but I took a brief walk and did another 3 miles at a slow relaxed pace.
Bad:I had pain in the shins from running the 4 miles and I should have just stopped running instead of doing the relaxed run. So now my shins are very sore so I'm staying off the legs for a few days.
Scary:Scary moment indeed! On Sunday I did a motorcycle group ride on some very twisty back roads and ran off the road! (Ahh the adrenaline of a crotch-rocket! Ya-right!) I took a sharp turn too fast and started to fall. I straighten the bike back up which cause me to go over towards a ditch. A big rock was there so I hit the rock and me & the bike WENT AIRBORNE! I actually landed straight (sitting upright on the bike) so I didn't wipe out totally. I checked the bike and everything seemed to be okay and kept riding. The guys & gals who was with me said it like I did a stunt jump without the launch ramp. lol.

Sounds like you had on some decent safety gear when you pulled your header over your bike. Glad you weren't hurt and bravo on all the other positive aspects of you weekend.

Thanks. Yep SplendidH...I was geared up to the "t." It all happened so fast that I had look back at all the debris behind me and ask myself "what the heck did I just do?!" I want to go back to that area (turn) again and do it right next time.
On the food issue, I've been making quite a few veggie meals from the FS recipe log. Nice to have that log handy when you're not sure what to make at time.

I'm sure you've heard this but I'll repeat it. Always remember to be geared up and prayed up because for all the caution you take, sometimes things just happen more often to bikers. Continue to be safe out there.

Oh my goodness. I'm so glad you are ok. That outcome could have been really bad. Those moments certainly help us to appreciate life in a whole new way. That was a fast run you mentioned! 4 miles in under 30 is fast!! It's fun to set those goals like that though and good to always have something new to strive for.

Just thinking about 7:30 pace makes my legs hurt. Good luck on that one. The fastest I ever get seems to be around 9:00.
