Bikes!

So, after months (maybe years) of wavering, Aimee and I finally broke down and bought some road bikes. This officially gets us 2/3 of the way to a triathlon. Unless you are Aimee, and you can already swim, which means she could do one tomorrow (very jealous). It's not that I can't swim, because I can, its that I can not swim multiple laps in succession without stopping to rest.

We purchased our bikes on Thursday from a local shop here in Farmington that also has two stores in STL. After buying the bikes we immediately rode them 6 miles home and returned to get our cars later. The next day, instead of driving the 5 miles to work, I rode my bike. Today, we took a leisurely 12 mile ride out in the country instead of running. We love our bikes, but currently our butts do not. We both think we need to invest in a more padded seat.

I am looking forward to my new adventures with the road bike, but will always keep running at the top. Once I learn to swim, look out triathlons here I come; but who knows when that will be. Totally off topic, but worth writing about, this weekend was the first football game of the season for Mizzou. Aimee and I, along with her parents, Joe and Andrew went to the game. Before the game, Aimee and I met up with some of my family: Aunt Linda (mom's sister), Uncles Scott (not pictured, he was cooking eggs), their son Kevin (not pictured he was playing hillbilly golf), their daughter Sonya and her husband Dustin. It was a blast and we look forward to going back!
