Saturday 5/29
Had a good 3 hr bike planned for today. The route was out to Pell City and back. Would have been new territory. Thanks to the rain I didn't get to go.
We did have a big cookout over at John's (my coach) house. It was an awesome time. It was fun to spend time with everyone when we aren't wearing spandex. We took little dude with us. he was perfect. He started to get tired around 2 so we had to duck on out. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Sunday 5/30
Tried to get my long run in today. I woke up with a sore throat and head/chest congestion. I drug myself out on the street and started running. The warm-up went well, but when tried to pick up the pace, I'd start coughing something fierce. I decided I would just try and take it easy today and drink a lot of fluids. I only got about 2.5 miles in today. Spending the early PM getting all my gear ready for the LJCC race tomorrow. It should be a good time. I'm number 53. There are 6 of us in the Clydesdales 0-39 division. I'll get up a race report tomorrow afternoon.
