After a long day at work, I came home and cleaned up a bit. Packed my two bikes and made my way to FIU. Parked in the lot and waiting 45 minutes for everyone to get there. Selma and Michelle were going to go, but they did not which was kinda lame...that meant I'd be surrounded by 2 people i sorta know and a bunch I didn't know at all. lol. But it was ok.
Got to Shark Valley in nice time. As we drove up we saw TONS of cars with bike racks on the side. Last time, we had gone so late at night, we were the only ones there. As it was, we only really ran into other people once on the ride. And boy, were they annoying. They took their bikes up to the tower, which you aren't supposed to, and then one of them almost hit me and Ana as he sped down the ramp. Dumbass.
Got to see many alligators are usual, and some frogs and spiders. The trip to the tower went by super fast...the one back, not so much. That one always seems to take so much longer, even though it's only a mile or so longer. Chatted with Ana at the back of the group most of the time.
Felt great though, I didn't really get tired and the weather was super nice...thankfully I had brought a sweater. I am definitely feeling the pain this morning though.
Oh, I started the 100 Pushup challenge this week. It's basically a structured exercise to get you to 100 pushups in a few weeks. I figured...well, I can do about 3/4 pushups as it is, and that sucks...plus I need to do SOME exercise. So we will see how it goes....so far, so good.
