This past weekend was a busy one. Friday night, I danced a Scottish Country Dancing demonstration at Salem State College's Cultural Night, and then went to a 4 hour dance on Saturday, also in Salem, MA. As a result, my calve muscles are killing me! To add to this, I went for a 22 mile bike ride on the Minuteman Bikeway with Laurie and Steve, starting in Cambridge, to the end in Bedford, and then back. We kept an easy pace on the first pass, but on the way back, I wanted to get more of a work out, so I pushed it to the halfway point. 5.5 miles in 22 minutes. I didn't keep good track of the time the whole ride took, as we were not in a hurry... "Just working out the cob webs".
I did some web searching last night for other trails we might be able to use for training in the months ahead. For starters, I could only think of the East Bay Bike Path (running 14.5 miles from Bristol to Providence, RI), and the Northampton Bike Path in Western Mass (running 8.5 miles from Northampton to Amherst, MA). Looks like there are plenty of other trails as well. I'm really looking forward to hitting all of them!
Now that I got all of that great exercise in last week, I am now sick, and it is raining cats and dogs outside. I really wish I could go for a run or ride, and I probably still would, if either one of the previously mentioned hurdles did not exist. I guess I might still, but I really want to get healthy again soon.
