The Days are Getting Longer...


Slowly but surely!
Happily taking advantage of being able to start earlier and go later—thank you, sunlight!
Last weekend, Mac and I got our 3-hour bike ride in early..which was great (get it done so we still had the rest of the day, had daylight, etc etc) but also FREEZING!  We thought the fog would burn off quickly but NOPE, pretty sure it just got colder and colder.  We even had to take a 20 minute stop at a starbucks to try to warm up a bit before heading back, but of course that just made it colder….
Luckily, some hills in the last hour, plus the sun FINALLY coming out, meant that we ended the ride feeling great (and finally with feeling in our hands and faces and feet and—basically everything).  But man, that was COLD.  Unfortunately, I know I need to be ok with cold…  Hopefully it’s warmer in Coeur d’Alene, that’s all I have to say!
Swimming is…going.  Running too.  Finally starting intervals and stuff again which I love because trying to keep my heart rate down is maddening!   I can tell things are ramping up a bit, which is great—but also a liiiiiittle bit intimidating.  First brick of the year is coming up on Friday… 3 hour bike and 30 minute run!  Hah!  Nothing like starting off with a bang, I guess.
