Woke up this morning early 11AM, and headed to the mall to GNC to get my discount. Of course I could not find my membership card, so organized I am. Believe me Ukrop's and BJ'S Wholesale's customer services know me by my first name, here he comes again for another card. Well the GNC guy looked me up on the computer and I got my sup's and headed to get some breakfast. MMMMMMMMMMM Sbarro's, I'm a pretty big fan of same, since the days of living in Kuwait. Had a slice of cheese pizza and a slice of chocolate cake and then headed home for a training session.
My first, a milestone in the making, the bike and run combination. Took off blazing on the bike, as always for the first 6 miles, and then lets say, I completed the last 6 miles. The result, not to bad a 17.6 mile pace, drop the bike off on the back yard ramp, made the transition to elite biker to pathetic runner. Took a sip of G2 and headed off on that milestone journey. As the journey began I had forgot one thing, OHH I mean two important things and that were my legs. As I was running, or attempting to run, I just could not come across where I left them and furthermore at the 1/2 mile mark, I was beginning to remember where I placed another item. What could that be, nothing but that infamous chocolate cake and it wanted to leave my body right in front of my tanning salon. Some how I was able to keep it at bay, well at the least at the 3/4 mark of my throat and dispelled the notion to all those teenagers at the salon that I was in full blown midlife crisis. Before you know it, the first mile was done, and the result a 9 minute mile, better than expected and I continued to just stay on that pace for the next two.
Conclusion, stay away from chocolate cake, the bike to run is going to take some time to get use to.
