Is it weird that reading blogs about people running motivates me to get off my A$$ and run? I think there is a little irony in that. Anyway, I didn't run yesterday because Matt had this brilliant idea to go for a bike ride. When I ride a bike, I like a nice, leisurely ride. This is why I adore my cruiser bike. I hate bike races and I'm terrified of going fast down a paved hill. I'll go somewhat fast down a dirt/grass trail, but if it's paved, I'd rather walk or run. Anyway, so we go for this "fun" bike ride which involves a steep downhill on pavement. I made it alive knowing that at the bottom would be that flat and safe trail to ride on. One glitch... that trail didn't go very far. We couldn't figure out where it started! We've seen bits of this trail on different roads, and knew it had to be there somewhere, but we couldn't find it. So back UP that hill. Stupid hill. I made it about 100 ft, and had to walk.
So yeah, I got my workout, kinda, but now the butt trauma that I'm experiencing is making me not want to run today, which I really, really, really need to do.
Does anyone else have problems like this? Am I alone in my feel of paved trails going downhill?
Ok, getting up to go for my run... We'll see how long this one is.

Butt trauma!!!! :)
