Today, 4:45am came all too soon. But that was because I was too excited to sleep a wink betweek 10:00pm and 3:10. And then at 3:10am, Sean decided to get up and walk around the house naked, yelling for Grandma Susan, because he wanted to sleep with her, because he had an "accident" in his own bed. Anyhow, it was 3:00am, I wasn't going to let him wake her and everyone else in the house up, so I grabbed him and brought him to bed with us, where he decided he really wasn't interested in sleeping... so he tossed and turned and played with my face, and told me how much he loved me.. (which is always ok by me... ) Until he finally fell asleep at 4:35, and then my alarm went off at 4:45 to get up for my FIRST GROUP BIKE RIDE!
I was so excited. I have seen these groups of bike riders 10-50 riders up early in the morning meeting in parking lots, or riding down the streets in big groups like a swarm of bees... and I have ALWAYS wanted to be apart of that. Today was my day. My neighbor invited me to a ride with a group that she had previously participated in, so we went. Today was 20 miles. Not bad at all. I loved it. Every minute of it. I've got a 40 miles race coming up with the Tour De Tucson on November 19, so... training will be needed for this one. I'm not gonna get by with just showing up. I hear it's got lots of hills, something I have NO experience with. So I'm looking forward to some of the training days that will be hill days. OH Boy....
