Brick w/ Wind

I was falling asleep on my feet at 9 pm last night and wide awake at 0100. So I read some blogs for about an hour, still not getting tired. Boy you guys are motivating. I thought about a 0200 run. Nah, not that awake!

So I went downstairs and watched The Negotiator with Samuel L. Jackson followed by The Perfect Storm, acknowledging that my morning brick was going out the window every minute my eyes stayed open. But, thank the lord TBS plays movies all night. That channels flippin better than HBO, I tell ya. The Mighty Mo got up at 0530 and we watched Shrek while Mistress slept in.

As the morning progressed I realized that I was getting cranky and frustrated and that Mighty Mo was going to take a nap way early, so I gathered my things and took off on a 40 minute ride followed by a 20 minute run.

At first I thought I was in big trouble, I was heading east and my cadence was at 80 but I couldn't get up past 16 mph for the first 4 miles. I attributed it too the long night and decided to make my trip shorter by turning south and making a loop towards home. I make the turn and Whooosh, I am at 19 mph and 107 rpm. Thank the Lord it was only a headwind that I couldn't detect. So I floor it home, even hit 29.5 mph (Oldman and Flatman, I seeeee you) but the bike lane ended and had to slow down.

I park Lucille in the garage and run down to the local high school, do a few laps on their track and head home. I feel much better.

Again, thank the Lord for my slowness on the bike only being a headwind. I was really having some doubts there.
