I rode my bicycle about 18 miles to a meeting this morning, then rode it about 18 miles back home.\u00c2\u00a0 It took me about an hour and 40 minutes each way.\u00c2\u00a0 I made a disturbing observation when I was almost home.\u00c2\u00a0 I had been listening to my “Marathon Playlist” on my MP3 player the whole time and I never did hear the whole thing, which means that on marathon day, I will be running for longer than I rode my bike today, and that thought is pretty terrifying considering that riding a bike is easier than running, to begin with, and the fact that the ride was split into two sections with a 2-hour break in between, during which I ate a lovely, satsfying hot meal, which, most certainly, will not be happening on marathon day.\u00c2\u00a0 So, if I thought today was hard – and I do – marathon day is gonna be way, way worse.\u00c2\u00a0 Yikes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
