Very beautiful bike ride along the lake

I rode with my friend this morning along the lakefront. I was able to get a lot of mileage done in a short time. The weather was absolutely wonderful! I could not ask for anything better than this. I was able to complete my 24.59 mile ride in 1:58:14 (4:46/mi). I plan to go long bike rides like my previous long runs in preparation of a bike event I plan to do later this summer and into the fall.

More to come...

Riding thru Bad News

On Wednesday, I finally found my fate for this fall with attending law school. Well, my fate became sealed in a thin envelope. Yes, law school is NOT going to happen this year.

After this bad news and then a very rough day at work, I went out for a long bike ride along the lakefront. My agenda was 8 miles, but I ended up with 14.4 miles because I wanted to keep going. I never though that bad news would encourage awesome mile splits.

Mile 1-4 16:54 (4:14/mi) - STUPID garmin!
Mile 5 4:16
Mile 6 4:07
Mile 7 4:15
Mile 8 4:22
Mile 9 4:43
Mile 10 4:41
Mile 11 5:08
Mile 12 4:03
Mile 13 3:56
Mile 14 3:59
Mile 0.4 1:51 (4:45/mi)


Avg Pace - 4:19/mi
Total Time: 1:02:21

Still waiting....

Yes, peeps. It's been 14 weeks now and I am STILL waiting for the results from my last law school application from my #1 choice. I am not anxious right - more annoyed than anything. I thought I would hear from them by now. The sad truth is that orientation is on August 17th and want to make sure that I am financially ready for starting law school upon acceptance. I can not do ANYTHING until I accepted.

**sigh**

I even broke down today and called the Admissions Office to check on the status of my application. Their answer - NO DECISION YET.

Well, I am now back to waiting again.
