<\/a>We got a late start to the bike ride because we had to get a new bike pump. We decided to drive over to the mall, go to REI and then pick up the I-205 Bike Path from the mall. Reason #1001 Why I love REI:<\/strong> they replaced the 2 year old bike pump for a new one with no questions asked. Simply because Michael has an REI membership. Nice!<\/p>\nI think it’s been a few months since I’ve been on the bike. In fact, I think the last bike ride I did was in Poulsbo<\/a> during my family reunion back in July.<\/p>\n I think I need to rest from Hood to Coast.<\/p>\n I’m going to take a break from running, I think. Maybe a few more days, a week, a few weeks…a few months? I have no idea yet. I will test out my legs soon and see if they need more time.<\/p>\n Distance: About 14 miles?<\/strong><\/p>\n Time: 1:39 Calories Burned: 587<\/strong><\/p>\n Dessert was two scoops of light Vanilla ice cream with mini chocolate chip cookies!<\/p>\n<\/a>Saturday’s disastrous run told me I obviously need to take a break from running. I’ve been pretty sad and depressed this weekend, worrying about my running ability–thinking that I may never be able run again. I’m trying not to think about it too much. Michael says I have an “all or nothing” view of life and I try NOT to look at things that way but…IT Band injuries aren’t good.<\/p>\n<\/a>We rode our bikes North on the I-205 Bike Path and stopped at our usually spot to rest. It’s at the top of a hill near NE Portland (about 40 minutes in).<\/p>\n<\/a>I ate my GU and drank some Gatorade.<\/p>\n<\/a>We hadn’t discussed how far we’d ride, and I didn’t want to push myself too much for my first bike ride. We decided to turn around. It was a good bike ride! We got back to the mall and loaded up the bikes. I felt really good after the bike ride!<\/p>\n<\/a>Sunday’s Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>We stopped at the store on the way home to get some goodies for dinner. We made turkey burgers and I made the tomato\/mozzarella salad. We used the heirloom tomatoes I got at the Farmer’s Market.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>The salad was fantastic! I love the Heirloom tomatoes. I did not have fresh Basil (bummer) so Michael put a dash of seasoning on it. The turkey burgers turned out great. Mine had melted Havarti cheese on it and bacon slices.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Michael decided he was going to create his own fancy Turkey Burger Club Sandwich. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<\/a>He topped his Turkey Burger with a slice of HAM and then BACON!<\/p>\n<\/a>He said it was pretty good. I took his word for it!<\/p>\n<\/a>I’m pretty happy with the photo I got of the burger. Could this Turkey Burger Club become the newest craze? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<\/a>3 mini cookies = 130 calories.<\/strong> We each had 4. So a teeny bit more than one serving.\u00a0 The trick to having things like the cookie dough in the house is to only bake a serving or two at a time and save the rest in the fridge. There’s no risk of eating too many if you only bake a serving!<\/span><\/p>\n
