You did what??? A total of 69 Miles in 48 hours!!

"What? Are you nuts?You did what?"... is what one of my coworkers said to me this morning. I was talking to a group of co workers about what we did this weekend and how great the New England weather was for being outside on Saturday and Sunday.  So I repeated what I had just said:  I did a total of 69 miles of physical activity in about 48 hours.


It started on Friday evening around 5 pm with a 1500 yards swim at the Cranston YMCA... FRI Swim




Then of course off to Bar 101 with Sparky and Hubby for dinner and drinks (did not count those into the mileage though!)...Our favorite Local Bar...
 

Saturday:  Sparky is at the house, in Johnston RI,  by 615 am....we packed up Sliver Bullet (the Jeep) with all of our gear and Bikes..got gas and was on the road for 8 am to headed to the Patriots Bike course, In Freetown, MA.  In 1: 48 riding time and 1:58 total time we covered 28 miles....(I dropped a chain and we were trying to following directions on a map).  Not too bad..I thought it would be much worse then it was....SO after the ride we did a short 30 minute run, I got just 3 miles in!!!!
Saturday Patriots ride......Run after ride


After The brick, we headed to Narragansett RI.  We were meeting  a couple of friends for lunch.  Of course we were there a little early so we decided to walk the Narragansett Beach...2+ more miles there..  So we had lunch at Crazy Burger in Narragansett...
Sunday was the RIDA 5K.. 2012 it was the 4th year in a row for me to do this race...The RIDA 5k was the first official race I ever did in my life in 2008.  
.



Thank you to Sue and her team that does a great job every year,,,, And first time I got to run outside in shorts and summer running top...(running bra, for those of you who do not know what one of those are!)








I had talked to Leslie the day before and decided I would try the Patriots course all over again!!!  Yeah twice in 26 hours, I figured for the race I was going to have to do it twice to get the full 56 miles!

Met Leslie up there around 130 and we headed out...at about mile 2 I realized I left my phone on the front seat of the Jeep (that had no doors on it...ALMOST time to go TOPLESS on Silver Bullet!)  Back to the Jeep and started the route all over again....Warm Up!.

One hour and 44 minutes later we made it back to the cars...Patriots bike route on Sunday

So the total count for the Friday 4-13/5 pm to Sunday 4-15/430pm and a  2 mile walk on the beach!!!
