12 Miles and a Short Run

I was not the only Newbie this morning! We left from Sugar Land Memorial Park and rode all the way down Commonwealth to Austin Park and back. It was very foggy and cool. I really wasn't dressed as warm as I should have been. The fog made everything wet, including my helmet. My eyelashes had rivulets of water on them. I adjusted to the temperature but not the wind. It was a challenge, especially since the traffic was going way too fast for the weather and the drivers were scaring me.
After the ride, I ran for 10 minutes. I would have run longer, but I had to get ready for a Toastmasters presentation at 10:30am.
A lot of people are doing the Tour de Hosuton bike ride tomorrow. I'm debating about whether or not to go. I'm not thrilled about getting up at 4:30am.
