Off with the new, on with the old---pedals!!!!

Okay, I gave in to reality and reason and got my old regular pedals put back on my bike. Enjoyed a nice long ride yesterday without fear of falling while trying to stop!!!!! Although stopping is a bit tricky even the old timey way or either I've developed a phobia now. My legs were a little sore, I think from Saturday's run, which wasn't pretty for me, by the way. Stomach issues prompted stops at the Chevron and the police station--and wow what wonderful air conditioning in that police station! And I ended up walking more than I would have liked because of stomach unrest. Oh, well.

And, interestingly enough, thanks to my Garmin, my pace with the old-timey pedals was faster than when I rode with the clip-in ones. So, there. And, I got delayed twice on my way home from Saturday's run as the Heatwave Triathlon folks were running the same trail that we ran last week. There was just enough space between the runners that traffic was backed up significantly! And, I went home to get cleaned up and get to the temple for a Bat Mitzvah at 10:15 and there were still police guarding the path for runners! The stragglers, whom I was proud of because, if I ever do that triathlon, that's about the time I'd be crossing that path, I'd be thinking!!!! I biked 15 miles yesterday and cannot yet imagine running 6 miles after getting off the bike so I've got a ways go to before I think about doing something like that.
