Beginning to Bike

Well I guess the initial excitement is over since neither Sarah or I have made a blog posting in the past few weeks. We have tried to keet active though. I ran the Virgina Beach Rock & Roll 1/2 Marathon on Labor Day weekend. Very fun. There were 22,000+ people, so it was pretty crowded, but it ended on the beach with a beer tent set up, so that made up for all the zig-zagging to move ahead during the race. Sarah and I went on our first bike ride last weekend. We did about 20 miles and had a really nice time. Multiply that by 6 and we will have done 1/3 of the Ironman. Ugh. I also did a spinning class, which I really enjoyed, but Sarah was quick to point out that "spinning is not real cycling". Bike snob.

I am in Copenhagen today for work. I just got back from an 8 mile run around one of the canals. It is overcast and cool, so the running was good! Here is a map of the run. I did two laps.

More to come as we start to get in shape (which I am definately NOT in right now). I need to start swimming!
