It was hard! But I beat my previous time by 20 minutes so I'm proud of myself. And I've only been training since, um, June 26th. Next one will be better :)

how did the race go. be easy on yourself make sure you walk and let the body recover

Nothing else to say but that just SUCKS....and your right, no cyclist purposely tries to ride on the gravel. He obviously wasn't paying attention

i will be back not giving in just upset. i just can not figure out how he could not see me. he was such a big guy so the impact was even harder. i am only 5 ft and he must be close to 6 and big and solid

yes there are rules. I needed to stop for a few minutes and i was on a straight away. no hills no bends in the road no cars around no bikes pulled off of the road onto the gravel which you are allowed to do since the bikes are suppose to be on the road. i went to get some fuel out and bang. i have no idea how he did not see me or why he would have been near the gravel. no riders like to ride on gravel. no drafting is allowed. i did everything right so i be safe. no reason to hit me. seeing the doctor tomorrow.

So sorry about your race, that sounds pretty awful :
I did my second ever half marathon yesterday. Today I've done as little as possible.
Tu - rest, maybe a short walk, yoga
W - pilates class
Th - easy run, yoga
F - zenga class
Sa - running, yoga
Su - pingpong with my mom (it's a workout!)

I'll look into the spin class. Right now I'm thinking about either buying weights to train at home or switching to a gym with a pool... I hear you about class times, the classes I can take is very limited. I don't know why they don't have more for when people are off work.
We also have another gym near us that is much cheaper and let's you bring someone with you and has no annual contract. Might look into that one, it's hard to find the right fit!
