This weekend was a whirlwind. \u00a0Thanks to everyone who supported 24 Hours of Booty this year, either through donations, volunteering, riding, or just sending dry thoughts. \u00a0For the first year in many, the weekend was gorgeously dry. \u00a0Of course, I wasn’t quite ready to spend that many hours riding in the heat. \u00a0Turns out cold rain does make it easier to stay on your bike since you don’t have anywhere else to go to get warm.<\/p>\n

I didn’t make my goal of 125 miles. \u00a0On Saturday, my legs kept cramping up. \u00a0Same problems I’ve been having with my hips. \u00a0I need to stretch and strengthen them. \u00a0This is just another reminder of that. \u00a0So I got in a little over 50 miles each day and ended up with 103 miles. \u00a0Still pretty good. \u00a0My legs don’t want to work today and I might have Desitin on my saddle sores\u00a0right now. \u00a0That stuff is amazing.<\/p>\n

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you already know this, but I’m trying to help the Ulman Cancer Fund drum up participation in their upcoming Iron Girl Columbia Half Marathon and Family 5K<\/a>. \u00a0It’s a busy weekend here in the area, so registration is down, which is a bummer for such a nice race.<\/p>\n

\"IronGirl_Columbia_logo-300x184<\/a><\/p>\n

The race is on September 12th, so it’s coming up fast, but if you’re doing a fall marathon, this is a great tuneup, and if you’re not, join me for the 5K! \u00a0(I backed off on the half after having such trouble with my hips – I need to get my body in shape for my winter racing season and not risk injury.) \u00a0This is a fun race and the 5K is family friendly, so bring the kids!<\/p>\n

If you use the code MEGAN15<\/strong>, you can get 10% off your registration. \u00a0 And let me know if you’re coming! \u00a0It would be fun to see some more friendly faces there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
