The down week

So after my awesome weekend race, I've had a few off days. Not off as in off-my-rocker, that-run-really-sucked, i-just-can't-move-another-step. Off as in not doing anything that could be classified as exercise. Life has just been too hectic the past couple days. Sometimes it's like that. I hate it though. I start to get a little ADD. But tonight it's back to it.

I know some runners will tell you to take a little time off after a run to "recover". I'm not running marathons here, so this is getting a little ridiculous.

But this Saturday I'm going to do the ride at the zoo. It's just for fun this year, not actually a race like last year. That's ok. I get a t-shirt and they are providing dinner. Then you get two hours to cruise the zoo at your own pace. I'm going to take the new road bike and give it a try to make sure I can use it in a couple weeks when I do my big ride.
