The goal: 40 miles
Reality: 30 miles
I woke up to rain this morning and decided to wait it out. I lost thirty minutes off my ride, but at least I had a dry seat to sit on. I’ve decided cycling in the rain isn’t very fun, no fun at all. 😉
On my way to the trail I tried the acai-pomegranate Mix1.
It’s the 90 calorie version of Mix1, so it wasn’t as a thick as the others. It was still good, but tasted a bit watered down.
My ride was quick and painless. It felt great to just get out there and ride. I took all my built up stress and just left it on the road. I was happy when the sun broke free from clouds just before my turn around point. It ended up being a beautiful Tampa morning.
Gorgeous! 🙂
30 miles later I was ready for breakfast.
In the bowl:
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mini Wheat
- 1/2 cup Cinnamon Cheerios
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Brown Rice Cereal
- Plain Yogurt
- 1/2 Peach
- Cinnamon <– loved the cinnamon!
I just check into my flight for Philly!!! Less than 24 hours now!!
Now that I’m finally in Atlanta I am even MORE impressed by your HIM training in the summer heat. It’s so hot here! Great job!

30 miles is nothing to balk at. That’s pretty impressive!
Bahhhh that’s the best feeling, checking in for your flight! Makes it so real.

Somtimes waiting for the sun is sooo worth it!!! 30 miles is still great and 30 more miles that I probably could do!

I’m glad the weather turned around! It looks like it was beautiful! Oh…and also beautiful? That bowl of cereal! 😀

I haven’t seen that Mix1 before! I wonder if I’d like it better than the others? I tried a regular after a big race up here and I wasn’t a fan – thought it tasted too thick and chalky.
P.S. I wish I had more time to travel, because I know a lot of people doing the Augusta HIM and I’d love to come cheer y’all on!

They sell the 90 calories ones in Publix! I know a lot of people doing Augusta too! It’s going to be a big race. 🙂
WHoop 30 is still great. You’re so right, I’m no fan of riding in the rain either. Not one bit.

Ah thanks for reminding me to check in too! 😉
Wow – 30 miles just sounds incredible to me. I would wholeheartedly agree with you that 30 out of 40 ain’t bad at all!
And I can definitely see how biking in the rain would be no fun at all – don’t blame you for not liking it!

I have a fruit and yogurt bowl almost every day for lunch, and cinnamon is a favorite regular add-in!

Cograts on getting your bike ride in even with all of the stress you’re under with the HLS! I’m more likely to skip a workout when I’m stressed, even though that’s when I need a workout the most!

I don’t even like looking at rain, never mind biking in it—good call on waiting it out ; )

I don’t know how much you have time to check/read comments right now (Healthy Living Summit, what!), but I just ran across this in my Google Reader and immediately thought of you! Well, I thought of Blue, actually.
Anyway – I know she’s given you a fair share of troubles & I’m sure this bike is pretty expensive but the technology looks pretty rockin’:
