Pedals or Pavement?

So I have been riding to work on my bicycle for almost a month now. Three times a week, which is awesome. Now, last night after a full day of work and biking almost 20 miles, the squid wanted to go for a run. If it was anyone else I would have declined but I don't like letting him down. SO, I took a deep breath and a swig of water and out the door we went. It wasn't twenty steps before it hit me - I wanted to DIE right there, on the side of the road. I could barely breathe, my legs felt like lead and the squid wasn't too happy. "Get it together wussy," was being yelled at me as we dodged oncoming traffic. What happened to my love of putting my feet to the pavement? What a horrible friend I am to my running shoes! I just couldn't do it, not one more step.

Thats when I realized I am not getting enough nutrition and hydration into my body each day. I think I mentioned that I was ravenous lately because of my change in physical activity, but I am not doing positive things in order to correct it. So here is to eating right, staying healthy and drinking water. AND spending more quality time with my running shoes, I deserve it.
