I just woke up mad today. It looked really dreary out. I have been getting anry b/c I have been walking the dogs a little later in the morning and there are a ton of people out with their dogs. So I thought I would walk them before it started to rain and before my run. the I decided maybe I would run them. . I took them around the park like normal. Is it wrong of me to be annoyed that there are so many more runners out than there was yesterday when I ran or the day before or even in the last month! I think the angrier I got the more my shins hurt so I called it quits after .6 miles and walked the rest of the way home.

I think I just get annoyed b/c it just keeps getting more and more conjested here. My boyfriend and I were at a friends house over the weekend in an area where we would like to move to. Maybe even a little further south. So we took a trip down dream highway and took the long way home so we could see and point out houses in the middle of corn fields that we would like to live in. Sigh...I just keep telling myself 2 more years and we can move...I just hope we can still get a good deal by then.

Okay fade back into today... I started thinking about my goals and blah blah blah...so I am calling it a cross training day. I went for a bike ride. I get extra points b/c mid ride a down pour occurred. I knew it was going to rain but I just thought it was so fun going up and down the hills. The rain got so bad that I couldn't see anymore b/c I couldn't wipe the rain out of my eyes fast enough! I tried out the garmin on the bike too. I dont' have the attachments I just switched it to bike mode. What would be different if I got the optional attachment stuff for the bike?

Any who I did 4.73 on the bike and I found a new 3 mile route for running. (I dont' like my other one anymore)

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!

I don't know anything about the Garmin bike attachment, but wouldn't it just mean you no longer wear it on the wrist?

Sounds like you are going through a renewal process. Questioning everything, reformulating your goals. I'm sure you'll work out something that makes you happy. :)

I don't know anything about the Garmin bike attachment either, but I suspect that Sno is right.

Some days are just grumpy days. I hope the sun comes out and that tomorrow is a better day.

The bike attachment will record your "cadence" that's how many times you pedal in relation to time or distance. It can be useful, but I never worried about it when I was cycling a lot.

Yeah I think I"m just interested in how many miles I put in! Thanks for the info rattletrap!
