Nope I’m not there!

I ran this race last year.  It was cold & I think there was snow on the ground.

This year as you can see in the photo, it was warm enough to run in shorts!!

So what do you do when you are depressed?? You shop and I did.  I bought more yarn to make socks and I bought 2 pairs of pants (Since I can’t wear heels, most of my pants are too long!)

Then I drove to work to ride the exercise bike & walk on the treadmill there. When I was done, I rewarded myself with a Starbucks drink.

I got home to find that my hubby had fixed my old bike…I have not ridden a bike in at least 13 years and this bike in about 30 years old!!

The weather was gorgeous and I was so happy to do something outside!!  The question was — could I ride a bike??

I must admit it wasn’t easy.  It was hard to get on since my left ankle is weak and then it was hard to start pedaling.  I also had to get over the fear that I might fall or wouldn’t be able to stop.

After a few circles of our cul-de-sac, I decided I was ready for the big time.

I talked my hubby into taking out his new bike (the one I won in a raffle) and we drove to the Nisky Bike Path.

That was where I fell and broke my ankle 11 weeks ago!

 

 

We rode about a mile and then turned around. There were a lot of joggers and I was drooling with jealousy.

It was nice to be outside.  And if I couldn’t be Runnin”, I am glad that I was able to be Bikin’.

Happy Running!  How did you celebrate St. Patty’s Day?
