It's that time of year...

...when the weather is perfect and all you want to do is be outside.  Saturday was probably the most 'perfect' day of the year...so far.  So we started out the day with a nice 'easy' 25ish mile ride.  Our turn around point was Alys Beach - and we totally acted like tourists:

Carla:  What is the gate code to get on the beach?
Chloe:  Try 1234

How do the bikes look on the rack?

Damn you gate codes - keeping us out!

What else happens on nice Saturdays?
Bridal Showers!

Yep - we can clean up :)

So I've been in Jacksonville Beach all week for work.  I've done a few runs (including the Lululemon Run!)  and I even set my bike up on the trainer in the hotel room (talk about dedication).  But tonight something very creepy happened.  I was running along the road that is right next to Jax beach this evening.  It was not dark and there where several people out and about.  I was totally in the zone rocking out to my G Love and Special Sauce Pandora Radio Station knocking out the miles.  Then out of no where some guy ran up to me and said "your ass has been keeping me going for the last mile".  What the fuck.  "Um, thanks I guess" was my response.  He kept on trying to talk to me - and I just sped up.  So my 10 mile run was cut to 8.  Normally I'm all about chatting with other runners - but this guy totally freaked me out.  So thank you creepy running guy for screwing up my run today.  I hope you eat some bad fish and and throw up for the next few days. 

In better news I found the most wonderful store in the world - YOBE  If you have never heard of this wonderful place - you BUILD YOUR OWN YOGURT.  Heaven.  Can't wait to go back tomorrow.

1234... classic!

Dude, the "ass comment" guy is a total freak and it's that crap that makes me nervous for all the girls out there running. Glad you played it smart and cut the run short.

Wo-hoo! Look at you rocking the Trinity kit! That alone should grant you automatic access to the snooty peoples beach.
The good thing about creepy people is that usually they aren't good runners so you can outrun them with speed and/or distance when needed. Damn freak!
Gotta go google YOBE now to see if we have any here in TPA.
Looks like another awesome weekend of riding. Even though I have a half-mary on Sunday, I'm hitting the hills tomorrow for 67 miles, just like last weekend. So what if my legs are trashed for the race, right? I figure it will be good training for the 70.3 coming up in 3 weeks.

What an ass! Why is it that we have to deal with this crap and always have to worry each time we go running... when to run, where to run, etc...glad your safe! PS I am also jealous in Jersey of your ride, but looks like our rain is clearing off the snow and may be able to finally ride outside this weekend...fingers crossed.
