Yippee! Rode the first "longer" ride on my MS150 training schedule -- 20 miles -- which felt like a long way to someone who hasn't ridden regularly in a while. My pace is still somewhat turtlesque -- 14.11mph average pace -- but hey, I'll take it!

I rode at Kiawah Island and it's soooo beautiful! I saw everything naturewise -- alligators (not on the road -- LOL), spiders, a snake, herons, doggies, men, women and children -- oh, and the marsh and the ocean!

I have to figure out how to eat to fuel these rides -- I had 200 carbs yesterday and then this morning did carbs before and after the ride -- now, I'll taper them down as the day goes on. Anyway, feeling pretty good so far!

Happy Saturday!
