The day my butt grew 4 sizes.

The other day, I just couldn't bring myself to even think about running after work. I was tired, grumpy, and wanted to see John. You see, between me working and both of us going to grad school, we basically say goodbye on Sunday night and don't see each other again until Wednesday after work (of course, we live together, but the few minutes that we are both in the same apartment, we are normally so mentally exhausted that we can't do any more than lay on the couch).

Wednesdays... they are different though! We decided that instead of me running, we would go for a bike ride. My coach suggested some cross-training since the injury and well... I've been neglecting my poor bicycle even more than I've been neglecting John. Well hello there, old friend!

Ever put on padded biking shorts for the first time in a veryyyy long time? Whoa! Forgot that feeling... It's like my but was channeling Kim Kardashian. Nevertheless... out we went... fighting off the storm clouds and the possibility of a horrific Colorado lightning storm. 

Not my actual road bike, but the only picture I could find
of me on a bike (minus the fat shorts)... I guess I need to show my bike a little more love!

Biking is fantastic because you can cover so much more ground than running (unless of course, you're doing a long run hehe). It just feels like there are so many possibilities when I'm on my bike. I needed that. 

Welp... I must be getting to those kiddos at school. The sooner I get to work, the sooner I get to leave for Grand Teton National Park for the long weekend! Woohoo! Pictures to come...

Speaking of pictures... I have exactly one month from tomorrow to meet my fundraising goal for the American Cancer Society! Please help me support a great cause, especially in the midst of a friend's mother passing away from cancer. Of course, I am still selling cards if you or anyone you know would like to buy any ;-) or you can simply donate on my American Cancer Society fundraising page! Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested! My thoughts are with the family back home as they live through these rough days and the wakes and funeral this weekend.

Happy Friday =-)
