Startin' 4th of July off with a BANG!

I did my first "brick" today! A brick is when you combine two things together. For example, this morning I rode 42 miles and then immediately after, threw on my running shoes and ran for 15 minutes. I felt great the whole time, which is a definite first for me! The best part is that Tracy is training with me (even though she's not doing the race this time). She commented that today is the strongest she's ever seen me train--coming from her, it means that I'm definitely doing this right! Now it's time for food, drinks (non-alcoholic, of course!) and watching fireworks tonight!! Happy Birthday to my mom and Happy 4th of July to all of you reading this!
