Cool Springs Short Route: Birthday Ride!

Today is my birthday, and I celebrated with a run at lunchtime. The last time I ran was during the Rev3 Knoxville race, so it had definitely been a while. I will probably feel it tomorrow, but it was definitely worth it. My pace was 8:03--not good, not bad, pretty mediocre--for the 3.1 miles. I'll take it, especially since I'm not running much at all.

After work, I went home, opened a couple presents from my mom (pics to come), and then jumped on my bike for a ride. I didn't really want to ride with a group the whole time, but I did want to start with them. It ended up being perfect. I started with the group, the fast group took off right away, I stayed with them for as long as I could, then I cut off to the shorter route and rode the rest of the route solo.
