Saturday Trainer Ride With Pharmie

Pharmie and I had no alarm set this morning. Sweet. We laid (or lied, or lain, whatever...) in bed and talked for a bit, and then FINALLY got up to do a workout. Oh the joys of having no children!

We filled the little table between our bikes with our goodies:



About an hour into the ride, I grabbed a camera. Here’s Pharmie at work:





She snapped a photo of me:





(Oh yeah, and I’m rockin’ my new DeSoto tri top from Chris at 10:10 Wellness - I liked it! I think I’ll be wearing it for IM NO 70.3.)

I wrapped up after 2 hours, and promptly stretched, did some leg exercises, and killed half a Papa Murphy’s All Meat DeLITE pizza. Pharmie is still downstairs. Still on her bike. Still spinning away. GO PHARMIE!! She’s a rockstar.

Have a good weekend everyone!! (I really hope to have an IM COZ race course preview posted tomorrow - check back if you’re interested...)

Update: Pharmie just finished. She did over 4.5 hours on her bike. She's a machine.

    Uh, I think my actual time was just over 4 hours. The other minutes were spent playing with the DVD player and getting more food.

    That is some serious time on the trainer! Yay for both of you - but Pharmie gets and extra YAY and also a WOO HOO for riding that long and smiling that big! (That is not the expression on my face after even only a fraction of that time on the bike trainer!)

    I am a little jealous right now... Wish I could share workouts with my hubby the way you do with Pharmie. You guys are too good...there's no way I could survive that long on a bike.

    4.5 hours on the trainer seems mind numbing - maybe I could do it if a) I had 4.5 hours to devote to it, b) I wasn't doing it alone, and c) it wasn't on my trainer in the basement - Spring please come soon.

    She must have buns of steel to stay on the bike that long. Holy crap.

    Nice job, but consider moving out west where the cycling is good year round and there is always a need for professors and pharmies!

    So far, I haven't made a 5hr ride since having kids. Haven't even done 2hrs...well, not without "Daddy? Where's my playdoh?" "Daddy? When will you be done?" "Daddy! GO FASTER! FASTER!"

    I don't mind the last one so much. :D
