I had my first "buddy run" with some people from TNT. I decided to ride my bike to meet them. We met in Penninsula OH, about a 14 mile bike ride each way. Unfortunately I had to fight the wind all the way to the run so I got there about 15 minutes late. Maria was kind enough to let me put my bike in the back of her SUV and we hit the trails. I ran 2.5 miles and felt pretty good. I had to walk a couple times but I really like running hilly trails through the woods. So much better than running on a boring (and hard) road or paved trail. Of course i couldn't walk pretty much for the next three days. Especially if I sat for long periods. The ride back home was much nicer I rode on the Towpath so it was pretty flat both ways (it was a very slight upgrade on the way there) so going with the wind and gravity on the way home took me about 20 minutes less than it did to get there.
