This year I managed to log over 650 miles and around 60 hours on the bike. As the days grow shorter and the temp drops outside the chances to ride are few and far between. I hope to start 2009 with the Myrtle Beach Marathon Ride. Tabitha has agreed to ride this one with me if I will run the 5k with her on Friday. We have a few months to get a bike for her and get ready. It looks like rides will be limited to the weekends until then. We will continue to run and I may try to grab an indoor trainer later this year. I want to ride at least 1500 miles next year and run 300 miles. That seems like a reasonable goal (My boss would be proud).

My Best Run So Far (Maybe it is just a fast walk)
Author: Jamie // Category: Cycling, Fitness, Running
I still can’t keep up with Tabitha, but I feel better after running tonight. I managed to cover 2.6 miles in 42 minutes. Today has been a busy day. We started with a 9.1 mile bike ride and we both managed to run on the treadmill before bed. I’m looking foward to a good night sleep and I feel sure we will be up early with the little ones. Jessie is on stage with The Big House in the morning so we will have to be on the road early.
I would like to start by saying that the hills hurt, but it wasn’t that bad. We peddled 83 mile in 7 hours and 22 minutes. That time included rest stops and two flat tires. We were blessed with cool weather and very little rain which made for an enjoyable ride.
I will be heading to Greenville for the 2008 Bike MS Event. If anyone would like to make a donation there is still time. It looks like we will be doing 80 miles in the rain on Saturday to raise money and awareness for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. (We are talking bicycles).
Have a great weekend.
This is the Saturday Route for the 2008 Bike MS Ride in our area. I hope to make it another 40 or 67 miles on Sunday. We’ll have to see how I feel after 80 miles on Saturday.
