It is Sunday afternoon, and we didn’t have to work today. My parents and nephews are visiting for a couple of days. I took yesterday off from any exercise, but I got in some good riding during the week, mainly commuting back and forth to the shop. I went out for my first run today in over a week. I ran very slowly, and was able to run with just a little bit of calf pain for about an hour and a half. I had to keep reminding myself to slow down since I didn’t want to strain myself too much. I really had missed the running and was thrilled to death to be back out. I got my swimming exercise today by throwing my two nephews, Ryan and Kevin into our pool over and over and over again. It was a good upper body workout. Only 20 days till the Death Ride and 41 days till the Vineman. I can’t believe they are coming up so fast.
