I'm not really a morning person so I usually do my workouts after work, but today I had a kid party to go to after work so....Susan and I went out to Sauvie's Island at 7am and did the 12 mile loop plus some. It was so lovely...the light was beautiful, and it just felt great to start the day biking with a dear friend, chatting away about whatever was on our minds, and really, not having a care in the world...except, well....I was a bit worried about where I was going to find a shower between Sauvie's and my office downtown. I ended up using an old 24 hr fitness membership (way expired!), and sweet talked my way into the Pearl District's shower...guys are such suckers! Showers are a huge commodity in my life right now...I think someone needs to design a "MapMyShower" website just like the "MapMyRide" and "MapMyRun" websites...you would type in your general vicinity, the available public showers would be displayed, and they would be rated for difficulty depending on how much lying/flirting/negotiating you'd have to do to actually get into the shower.
My husband tells me that I am quite the vagabond these days. I have three huge bags that sit by our bed (one for swimming, one for biking, one for running, of course!)... the 'triumvirate' bag collection that I don't let anyone touch, let alone get closer than 6 inches of because I am terrified that I will show up for a long bike workout with a speedo and my running shoes, or for a swim workout with my SheBeast biking shorts and a jog bra. So far, my bouncer mentality has worked and the bags have remained pure. I am reassured that if my kids do get a hold of my bags (its only a matter of time!), I am getting to know my teammates well enough now that they probably wont kick me out of the pool if I have to swim in a jog bra.
