IBIS’, CROWS AND AIR JORDANS

Average heart rate on this escort ride was 72 bpm, so I’m not sure if I should classify this ride as a workout, joyride, or what. I believe the only time my heart rate went above 80 was when I spotted some loose change on the ground.

Anyway, my wife managed a 10K training run/walk while I scooted alongside her on my road bike. The bike conveniently held two water bottles in its bottle cradles. She drank only one bottle, or 24oz.

Average temperature was a warm 82F (real feel 89F), there was very little wind, and the sun was in our eyes when heading east. We began the run/ride at 6:49 a.m. Sunrise was at 7:17 a.m.

When we were on the southwest side of the mall, we noticed several young people congregating around one of the entrances. There were two police cars and one mall security in the area as well. When I asked a young man that was headed for the entrance what was happening, he told me that the new Nike Air Jordan's are going on sale. Another real head-shaker!

The entire ride/run was recorded on my video cam. But other than my wife running through a flock of Ibis’ that were searching for worms in the grassy areas along the lake, nothing extraordinary occurred. One other time, near the end of her run, I recorded her making a funny face when I swung the bike around facing her with the handlebar camera. With her permission, I’ll post the short video.
