here i am sitting at the library in our little town checking my email...it's weird to be w/o internet at home, but really nice at the same time. i forget how consuming it can be...especially facebook! haha
haven't been doing a whole lot while i've been here. most kansans are terriblly jealous that i'm here in the sunshine state...but really, it's not that exciting! it's just like going home for a break. my sister's beach trip was cancelled since none of the kids brought money, so instead we went to my little bro's baseball game. it was just as hot as the beach...w/o the cool air and ya know, ocean.
still, it's been really really good to relax. especially after 100 miles to nowhere. i didn't figure the actual miles would kill me, but the sitting in place almost did! the first 60 miles were pretty laid back...painted my nails, had to take 90 potty breaks, chatted, sang songs with the girls...then i realized all the boys were going to finish and leave us in the dust. i couldn't be sitting there for hours while they waited on us. so, i moved my bike into the sun, put in my headphones and averaged 27mph. felt pretty good to kill those miles, besides enjoying raising the money for livestrong :)
like i said, it's been really good to relax. i hadn't realized how stressed i've been (and probably continually a little overtrained) till i finally got my heart rate down to 53. i've just been riding my step-mom's crappy huffy (yes, you can laugh now), and jogging, not worrying about keeping muscle or anything, just enjoying it. i forget to do that alot. imagine that ;)
my family's been great. of course, driving me crazy half the time, but that's what family's for right? this weekend we're going to my friend's wedding and hopefully the mountains before i head back monday. getting a little stir crazy and ready to hit the ground running...i think haha.
one thing i do know: I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO MY BIKE!!! gosh i miss her!
well, until next time!
