Weekly Recap and 90s Costume Party

Weekly Totals:

Biked: 45.00 Miles (2:19:53)
Ran: 25.05 Miles (3:36:06)
Strength trained: 2 hours

=======================

Friday:

Biked 20 miles (while watching The Glee Project)

I knew I needed to plant my ass in the saddle and knock out some miles.  And I had limited time, which is my default excuse for why I'm not riding outside.  It takes longer.  Because I go slower.  Which I why I need to ride outside more. Fuck.

I don't know either.


========================

Saturday:

Biked 25 miles, ran 6 miles.

I did another version of my "I'm Bored" workout, only this time I really parsed it out.

1 mile run
5 mile bike
1 mile run
5 mile bike
1 mile run
5 mile bike
1 mile run
5 mile bike
2 mile run
5 mile bike

We'll pretend it was a well executed plan to conquer the feeling of bike legs.  But, really, it was more of an effort to cut everything into tiny pieces so it as easier to chew.  I was tired, my legs were tired, and it had been a long week.  But I needed to tuck this shit under my belt, so I did it.  It took just over 2 hours, and I felt great afterward.  I did not expect that.  My legs felt better than they did going in to it.  Weird.

I don't know why I'm making a potato face, or why I'm realizing it's potato face and still posting it on the internet.


=====================

My husband's birthday is tomorrow, so over the weekend we threw a 90s costume party.



He was Ace Ventura.



My trainer was Bob Ross.



My friend Misha came as Monica Lewinsky, and stayed in perfect character all night. Notice the white stain?



Andrew was John McCane.



Meg came as the Blind Melon bumblebee, and danced in the back yard.

Alex came as a hamster rapist.  That was a thing in the 90s, right?  Hamster rapists?  No?  Okay, nevermind.  He, among others, brought flannel shirts and half asses their costumes.  Hamster rapist would have been a far better costume, really.  (or duck rapist, if you read Kara's blog) And it's definitely a hamster, and not a gerbil, since gerbils are illegal in California.



And I was Monica Seles.

  1. Are gerbils really illegal in CA? Tosh wasn't just lying about that to be funny?

  2. How fun! And I thought Ace Ventura as soon as I saw your husband's picture. Well, I thought Jim Carrey. Whatever.

    Good job on the runs/rides. Very cool that your legs felt better after the two hour workout. I have another few days before I want to look at my bike again.

  4. Your trainer coming as Bob Ross is CLASSIC! When i was on vacation in Montana I remember looking at some of the trees and remembering (sadly enough) about how he would paint those trees with his little paint brush. That guy looked like 70's porn his entire life!!! HAHAHA!

  5. At first I was confused by the "potato face" thing, but... that really is a potato face.

  6. I'm pretty much clearing my schedule for life so that I can start coming to your parties!! They look like so much fun.

    Sorry - didn't mean to stab you in the back. I was really just trying to open you up and lather you in butter since I love potatoes so much.
