5k with The Beast and my first brick of the year

Saturday - I took The Beast (Maddie) with me to do a 5k at the Jacksonville Gate River Run this weekend. Stuck her in a jogging stroller and off we went this was a charity event and wasnt a timed with chip etc but we found our way through the crowd with only a few close calls and finished in about 26 minutes....knees felt fairly good the entire time. Pictures to follow if I ever get them.

Sunday - After church I went out on a late afternoon ride .....winnnnnnndy going out (South-East) was only averaging about 17mph. Took A1A (North) home and held 26mph much of the time. After struggling to get out there the ride up was a dream. Still pushed my pace as much as I could to get my legs going since I've been doing so much riding on the trainer despite beautiful weather. After pushing hard as I could the last 7 miles (of 30) and feeling like my legs were at the breaking point when I got home I took a quick 10 minute run around the block for my first brick of the year. My heart was pounding but it felt like a huge accomplishment when it was over felt like I'm FINALLY back at it. Can't wait for daylight saving time.
