Things You Can Do Over the Weekend When You Don't Spend 4+ Hours on Your Bike

In an attempt to view the cup as half full rather than half empty, I title this post "Things You Can Do Over the Weekend When You Don't Spend 4+ Hours on Your Bike." Of course, I logged another "0" miles on my bike this week, and instead of riding 65 miles on Saturday like I had originally planned, I will let you in on the great things one can do over the weekend instead of spending several hours on your bike.

• Meet up with friends after work on Friday, relax, catch up, and not worry about rushing to get home and eat dinner and get in bed for an early ride the next day.
  
  
• Sleep until 8:30 am on Saturday, both run and swim AND still be home by 11 am.
  
  
• Watch your alma mater beat Georgia at home for the first time since 2000 (GO COCKS!)
  
  
• Take the dogs to the park. And to a soccer game.
  
  
• Watch 3 movies (Letters to God, Time Travelers Wife, Solitary Man)
  
  
• Go grocery shopping and get the laundry done.
  
  
• Catch up on DVR'd shows.
  
  
• Start a good book and finish 3/4 of it (The Island by Elin Hilderbrand)
  
  
• Run 18 miles on Sunday and feel great because you were not on your bike for 4+ hours the day before. Also, get a better run workout in half the time it would take you to get in a bike workout.
  
  
• Play fetch with the dogs. Mutiple times.
  
  
• Catch up on your sleep.

So, bike or not, it was a great weekend. I still ended up with big mileage last week - 65.63 miles running, 10,150 yds swimming. It was my highest run week so far, but my legs feel good.

Happy Monday.
