RUN SUSAN RUN!
Out of running, biking and swimming, I like biking the best, swimming second and running is definitely last. I have tried to love it for years but I just can't get into it. It doesn't excite, inspire or move me BUT if I want to do triathlons I have to run.
This is the second year I have done the Women's 5K by the Bay in Havre de Grace, MD. The run is along the bay and is a celebration of women, running and fitness not to mention freakin' beautiful. A portion of the proceeds are donated to local women's charities and its always powerful and ultra inspiring to be surrounded by 400 women.
I had a pretty good run and manage to do it in 30 minutes which isn't terribly bad but more importantly, I finished!!! I ran with old and new friends and then afterward we stopped by my friends' new bike shop, Chesapeake Cycle and Sport. They sponsored the Women's 5K by the Bay and had an open house for the runners and volunteers which included mimosas, tasty treats and good music.
After we all fueled up we went out on a chic only bike ride! I had the pleasure of riding with 4 women I had never ridden with before. It was an all level ride and I really enjoyed cheering on the other riders and sharing my love of cycling. I'm telling you riding is totally infectious! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I get to see women cycling and really wanting to do it just for the love of riding. Now get your bike out and start riding!
PS - I forgot to mention that all 5 of us were riding WSD Trek bikes!
