My TdC event went way different than I planned. There was a severe shortage of safety riders for the childrens and families route. No one stepped up so I did, exchanged my number for a safety rider vest. So instead of going on my planned route, I went on the 7 mile route and played with the kiddies. From toddlers on strider bikes to infants in trailers and everything in between. I got everyone rounded up, no one left behind and everyone had a great time. Wow 50 kids and families!!! I will just take my training plan and use it next year
07/08 - 13.0 miles turbo trainer (rest day light spin, training for Tour des Chutes continues)
07/09 - 29.0 miles turbo trainer
07/10 - 29.0 miles turbo trainer
07/11 - 29.0 miles turbo trainer
07/12 - 25.0 miles turbo trainer (sunrise rip before leaving on my trip)

07/14 - 10.0 miles turbo trainer (drove 200 mi home then spun out the legs)
Total: 293.0 miles

@Janet: did you not do Berlin already or this your first time?
@kar: Glad you are home safe and your cat was none the worse from it.
@Susan: How unselfish and kind of you to switch from rider to safety rider. I bet the kids enjoyed your support.
@Dean: Ouchy!
I am in blueberry overload so I am freezing lots. Today I made a fresh blueberry pie.

No miles for me today. I spent the whole day doing errands in the city so I have over 10,000 steps but none I can point to as purposeful exercise. I'm going to try to do my long run in the morning so I should remain in the green.
@clepant - yes, I did Berlin once before. Your blueberries are impressive! Mine are just coming in. Fresh blueberry pie is my favorite thing in the world.
@anaconda469 - that was a very kind (and fun!) thing to do. Training is never wasted - it is good for your body and your mind.
@darkrider42 - hope you are having a great trip.

@anaconda469 Good move. Really good move.
@clepant Those look so good. I love blueberries.
Squeezing in 1 mile during Boot Camp this morning. Got to both push and pull the big sled known as The Tank. Has six 45 lb plates on it. This was on the fake grass/turf. I love Boot Camp

Leaving for our first day on the road at zero-dark-thirty tomorrow.
We're going to try to beat some of the heat and get some miles in before it gets to maximum steamy. I'll still try to check in here though.
Have a great week everyone!

@sussexbythesea - get well soon.1 -
To all who commented, being a safety rider was great fun and tons of happy kids. As sweeper I got to very slowly ride behind the strider bike kids. One even wanted to race me, it was a slight downhill stretch and I rode my brakes hard.....he won! Got many thanks from parents and hugs from kids and one doggie kiss. As it was hot the kids were bringing me water and ice tea to the nice lady to drink while I was resting. I would do it again if it was ever needed. The event wanted to give me back my $75.00 entry fee, I told then to keep it for the cancer charity we ride for.
07/15 - 01.0 miles rest day river hike
07/16 - 25.0 miles turbo trainer
Total: 319.0 miles

Juky 16: Adding 12.05 miles today. Up early to get walking miles in and cycled later. Also spent 6 hours cleaning out my dad’s gutters. Some precarious positions where I was saying prayers. Next weeding added by two hours of cutting grass. I bonked. Only felt that once on a hot run but I felt it today. Good news is, I am dropping pounds again. Will be heading out early to work in my trial gardens early to beat the heat.
TTD: 142.95 miles
@Janet: I have been getting three quarts off e dry other day, Froze some and made a pie yesterday morning. (I thought you did Berlin before. My memory is still holding together).
@Jean: Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry I haven't been a very good supporter this month, my life has been unreal BUSY!! The Lord has been blessing us with great rains & that means mow & hoe. I must say I've been moving my @ss here on the farm plus the two older grandsons have been with us cuz mommy is finished with maternity leave & went back to work. Two are in day care but these two LOVE coming to the farm.
My husband & oldest son became certified Hemp growers (very very low amount of THC) & they planted the original crops first (which gave us a late seeding start on the hemp), they seeded some with the drill but what has been taking up our time is we grew (in a green house) 1650 plants & have been transplanting them. Its been a "family" event. Our son has done major searching/reading on this & its taken some work & money to set this operation up. Not sure 'what" the end result will be but I know CBD oil for sure. Like I said I've been BUSY & my summer is FLYING by.
I'm adding 25 miles from running with some walking & 17 from the ex bike.

@countrycreek - welcome back!
@sussexbythesea - sorry you are not well. I hope you feel better soon.
@clepant - my blueberries are wild bushes - actually trees because the deer eat the lower branches. I get maybe three quarts a week, I could probably get more if I worked harder. Mine are the tiny little wild blueberries and they are not easy to harvest, but they are SO GOOD.
@vhuber - you are busy. That is so interesting about hemp. I hope it is a success. I guess we all have to be willing to change with the times.
@darkrider42 - have fun and stay safe! It sounds like "stay dry" might be too much to ask.
As for me, I did a 9 mile run yesterday which puts me at 53/75. Have a great day!0
