May Goals ‘n Stuff…*edit*

Good Morning!

I’m a sore heifer today but the ride was totally worth it. Georgetown is beautiful…and definitely earns its place in Texas Hill Country. My thighs can tell you all about the hills…maybe even write a book report about them.

We ended up with a beautiful clear day. I was worried about riding in the rain (it scares the hell out of me when we have to deal with cars and the elements). Red Poppy was very organized (lots of signage,  well-stocked rest stops and plenty of SAG support). The wind was a bit much at times (20mph+) but we still managed to knock out the 30 miles in under 3 hours. Hooray!

For the cyclists: I tried the Clif Shot gel in Razz. It didn’t make me gag, so I’d recommend it. However, I will be passing on the Mocha version that was in my race bag. Gross…

Anyway, that’s 2 fitness events logged for the year. 712 to go…  Next up: Chicago Phat Camp!

May Goals
-Drink at least 3 liters of H2O daily
-EAT CLEAN! I’m on Day 33 of the 50-Day Challenge…
-20 Cardio workouts (shouldn’t be too difficult considering 6 of them will happen during Phat Camp weekend)
-Log at least 200 cycling miles for the month
-Start running program again. Honestly, I was made for the bike. I’m not meant to be a runner…but I’m going to make another attempt at consistency. Oy.
-Survive Phat Camp. I’m not trying to win any awards. I just want to avoid CareFlight.

That’s all for now. I’m running late. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

P.S. My coochie is just fine. Thanks for asking!
