So, Sunday morning got up and had plans to go ride bikes with Alyssa
and Paul - little did I know that this was going to be a serious bike
ride. We went to a trail in Austin called The Veloway, its a bike
specific paved 3 mile trail. I thought this sounded like a nice way to
start off our day, a nice relaxing 3 mile ride around a trail. Oh, no,
this is not what the Toughs had planned. Their past triathalon selves
kicked in and they were ready to go big or go home. We finished the
first time around and just kept on riding immediately to the next lap.
Then I wanted to die. It wasn't so much the actual riding or number of
miles, but more so the 100 degree weather and the sweat covering my
body. I hate sweating. Needless to say, my toothpick legs made it
around another time before I tapped out. My bike is new and riding a
road bike is a different feeling than just cruising around town and so
I am still getting used to the positioning and feeling when I ride so
I was impressed with my 6 miles on my first real ride. My legs weren't
that happy with me, but I had a great time.

I had intentions of showering and napping when I got home, but I was
too hungry and so I spent the rest of the day lounging around and
reading. It was lovely.
We had an exposure to Pertussis at work over the week and were all
told to go to the ER and get on antibiotics. This is highly contagious
so I wasn't really allowed to do anything until I got them. Pretty
exciting stuff working in a hospital. Turns out, we won't be getting
The Whooping Cough after all - just a fun scare.
Monday was working and baking brownies, Tuesday was working and class
and baking muffins, and Wednesday was just working and eating all of
the baked goods. Its been a pretty exhausting week and I am glad to be
done working for the week.
Off for the weekend and looking forward to getting out of Austin and
hopefully sleeping a lot :)
