Leaving our home ½ hour before sunrise, we headed in the general direction of our neighborhood shopping mall for some run/walk/ride miles with smiles. We accomplished all three!
For me, this was an escort ride. For my awesome wife, it was a short-distance marathon training run/walk.
Like I typically do whenever she trains for marathons, I ride alongside her on my road bike with two 24 oz. bottles of fluid. This morning she could choose between plain ice water and orange-flavored Gatorade. Both were nearly empty after her 10km run/walk. I took one small sip of the water.
With a recorded average heart rate of 71 bpm, I doubt that I got too much out of this “workout” other than some fabulous companionship with my super wife. We’re planning on doing the same thing tomorrow morning when a cold front enters our area. We are expecting a low of 70F (21.1C).
That, my good friends, is life in the sub-tropics.
