downpour run

I took off at about 8:30 to go running, when a light drizzle started. "Ok, no big deal," I thought. I got to my half mile mark when lightning sizzled across the sky and the heavens saw that a foolish runner was attempting to defy its will. Punishment was dealt with by sending torrents of ran that left me entirely drenched after running for only 7 minutes.

Mountain Biking

I rode my mountain bike around the neighborhood with the new pedals I put on it. I really like them, and it makes pedaling more efficient (and also gives a better workout!). I biked for 40 minutes at about a 12-14MPH pace to burn off 465 calories.
