Morning! I have had a fabulous morning so far.  This is the first Sunday in weeks (months?) that I haven’t gone on a long run — instead, I went on a long bike ride.

Before leaving, I had a quick and easy breakfast.

1/2 cup Grape Nuts and a sliced banana in skim milk — no coffee! I didn’t need it so I decided to go without.

I bike 14.2 miles, following my long-run path and the detouring to hit up a local park called Cypress Grove Park.

It’s easy to tell why it’s called Cypress Grove Park — look at these beautiful trees.

I parked my bike against a tree and decided to take a 10 minute break to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Taking a breather:

The bike ride home was pretty eventful!  Right before I got to my house, I realized my bike pack had fallen off the back of my bicycle — MY CAMERA AND CELL PHONE WAS INSIDE! Ahhh!!  I had a total freak-out and immediately turned around and sprinted (on the bike) back along the sidewalk…. luckily, I found everything safe and sound about 2.0 miles from my house. Whew!

Here are my statistics:

• Duration:  1 hour, 35 minutes (14.1 miles + a rest)
• Calories Burned: 500 (estimate)

I came home and did Day 5 of the 30 Day Shred.  I’ve finally mastered all the moves, so I listened to my iPod while watching Jillian on the TV.  It made the Shred go much faster!

Afterward, I was STARVING and practically dived into the fridge:

I made a Flat Out Wrap with grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, and 1/4 a warmed yellow apple.

Plus the other portion of the apple and a bunch of strawberries.

Plus, a big glass of Riesling.  It’s not my fault — I have to drink the entire bottle before it goes off! 🙂

Enjoy your Sunday!  I’ll see you later for a BRITNEY concert recap (AHHH) + dinner with Meghann and Jenna.
