5 Quick Things

ONE: First Bike Ride of 2012!

On Sunday, Pharmie and I BOTH got in our first rides of the year! In the morning, it was already 50+ degrees, so she geared up and headed out for about 25 miles:

Pharmie grabbed the camera from me and took a photo of what SHE saw as she was about to start her ride:

We call this Henry's "fat face"

A few hours later, she took Henry to a baby shower for her sister, and I took off for a ride. I headed into the wind down the Greenway Trail for over 11 miles and then turned around. I hit the turn-around with a kinda sad 17.6 mph average. But then, with the wind at my back, I soon got my average up to 19.0 mph. For having only been on my trainer twice this winter (and those were both in the last 2 weeks), and for my last outdoor ride being in August of last year, I really can't complain about that! I finished with nearly 23 miles under my belt and a near 19.0 mph average (I got a little slowed-up on side streets on my way home).


TWO: Henry's Third Swim Lesson.

Hamming it up with Dad pre-swim


He loves this basketball


He LOVED having Momma pull him through the water! I adore that face!


My 2 favorite people


Showering off with Dad post-swim

We fully dunked him for the 2nd and 3rd time! He was shocked like he was last week when I did it the first time, but he didn't really seem to mind!


THREE: I Ate This. (And It Was Delicious.)

From bottom to top: whole-wheat Eggo waffle, syrup, 2 eggs scrambled and cooked in the microwave, a slice of cheese, a soy sausage patty, another slice of cheese, another soy sausage patty, and a blueberry Eggo waffle. It's like a poor-mans McGriddle. It was good when it was my mouth.
