Holy cow this weekend was crazy!!!!!!  Saturday we planned to go test drive a few cars (because we are considering getting rid of one of ours).  As with anything I had researched all week, organized a sheet by location & vehicle, and then we planned a driving route.  Yeah…our plan pretty much failed.  We left the house around 10:30am on Saturday with 5 locations to visit.  We ended up arriving home a little after 10pm and only visiting 3 of our 5 locations!!!!

Anyway, we ended up being up until a little after midnight Saturday night prepping everything for our bike ride on Sunday.

Sunday morning we were up before 5 for our 80 mile (78.4 by my Garmin) Space Race Houston bike ride.  Sunday was a disaster! We left the apartment nearly 20 minutes later than planned.  We got about 10 miles down the interstate and realized we left our glasses!  You cannot ride a bike, let alone for 78 miles, without glasses.  Anyway, we ended up having to stop at a Walmart at 5:30 in the morning in the Third Ward….scary! I stayed locked in the car while the hubby ran in to buy some glasses.

We finally arrived at the ride and things just continued to be a disaster.  Lost the safety pins for our bibs, forgot my Cliff blocks, water bottle slipped out of my hand while riding, headwinds for at least 50% of the ride, and my hubby’s boss who is training with us got 2 flats!

Anyway got home Sunday and collapsed on the couch.  We ordered pizza and I literally ate back 78 miles worth of calories in pizza, breadsticks, and chocolate chip cookies.  Healthy…I know.  (Hmm…I wonder why I can’t shake that Texas Ten….).

Now it is Monday.  I have finals in 3 weeks and haven’t even begun to study!  Yikes! The MS 150 is this weekend! I will be giving you details of the ride, what I am doing to prepare, etc throughout the week but for now here is the final MS 150 Giveaway!
