48 miles done...what what.

4:54 PM Posted by brit , , 1 comment
And I really wasnt feeling it today. First 10 miles I was over it. Second 15 I pulled out my magic weapon. Bike speakers. And that really made the time go by much faster. Eventually around mile 42 my ipod died, so it was a lonely silent last 5 miles. But its over and I'm one step closer to not sag-ing out any ride this training season :) YES!! Now if I could just motivate myself to make it to spin class tomorrow....

Race Against Violence Recap!

10:42 PM Posted by brit , , , No comments
So the Saturday Wrap Up:  The important part to note is that I'm not last.  Haha!  And we ended up walking the majority of it, so at least I know I walk faster than at least two people.  So the day in random pictures.... (above) the race results.


 The crowd before the run.
 The bike ride back to HQ.  Since we decided to be uber hippie commuters and bike to the ride start, Harlie's only option for getting back was a kangaroo-esque pouch situation. I'm sure the car behind us at this light thought we were ridiculous.

After the 5K, brunch and some loitering at Urban Bicycle Gallery we headed out to try a new to us trail along Braes Bayou.  It was pretty awesome, and I'm definitely going to be on that trail again!

And today..after my mosquito laden run this morning, I signed up for!

 The Tour De Houston!.....60 miles....I need to bike like every day this week....ugh.

The Week In Review....Ye Olde BDL style

9:54 PM Posted by brit , , No comments
I dont think I've updated in a week.  But work, plus working out, plus sleep, plus more work and working out have made me super sleepy and not in a posting mood.  So, the week in pictures is below....

Ok maybe my week starts with wednesday, but I did stuff monday and tuesday too...just dont remember what.

 Running at memorial. First time ever around that evil loop ( but probably not my last time sadly).  With Monica and Andrea.  Found out that my running is fueled by my hate of running, which in turn makes me run more.  Dang circular argument.
Should probably figure out the how to tilt that sucker...ah well.  Weight in Saturday!(Since I forgot on Friday).  Not where I want to be, but still downward. 
And Sunday morning...the Texas Independence Ride! First real bike ride since Hawaii! Sad I didnt get I pic of myself in all my spiffy bike gear, but ah well....theres time for another ride.
 First rest stop
 Biking while taking a picture...haha! Biking up to the monument
 Closer shot with Lillie of course checking emails while I'm taking pics..

And the rest of my day! Buying new spiffy running shoes, and part of my biking crap that needs to be washed now.

Ok back to washing clothes, watching movies, and perhaps icing my knee...ouch.

Texans! and Ye Olde Cold

1:33 PM Posted by brit , , No comments
Texans are playing! That is all (no more college for about 230 ish days...sad)

Sadder, I've caught some sort of bug.  So while I attempted to take it easy, during a really busy week I neglected posting.  But I took a few pictures!

 Weigh in Friday....i hope slow and steady doesnt get derailed by stupid cold.

Below is from volunteering at the Houston Marathon Expo.  Pretty cool seeing marathoners and lots o' running stuff..
 Including sweat bands, lots and lots of them as Andrea can attest to...

I also managed to sign up for the Houston Area Womens Center Race against Violence on March 3rd and the Texas Independence Bicycle Tour on January 29.  Sooo I got get back in the game.
