Bike Training and More

Yesterday Sue and I woke up early to ride with the Central Penn Racing crew. We had decided last week to do the course for the Penn State Dam Triathlon. It's a nice course, with a couple of challenging hills. Once you get off of Route 26, it is a really scenic route, with not much car traffic. What was especially nice is that we were able to break out into three groups, so everyone could go at their pace. Somehow I was leading my group most of the way, but I think that's only because Sparky was riding a single-ring bike. Given the hills (both up and down) that's damn impressive.
Later, Sue and I took Joseph for his first training run. We walked and ran a total of 2 miles in about 20 minutes, over a pretty flat course. (And we made him do some stretches, including downward dog, afterward.) His next training run is Wednesday. We'll probably cover the same distance, but we'll run more of it.
Sue and I also need to get back into the gym more regularly. It'll be a scheduling challenge over the next few weeks to fit everything in.
