Change of Plans (3.3 miles)

Well, today the plan was to run a bunch of errands I had to do... however, that all changed when i got called into work.  They were short handed today, and they needed their best worker (me! haha).  So at noon I went into work again until 8 at night.  This took up my whole day, so i didn't do any other riding.  It was a very hot day and i planned on swimming in my pool today, but i ended up selling pool toys to people going home to swim in their pools! (I work at a pool store, called The Great Escape).  It was a bit depressing, but i do love money!  With being called in, I will hit about 50 hours of work this week... I was scheduled the max 40 hours, so i should get overtime, which would be nice!  As far as the riding goes, it was hot ALL day, even at 8:30 when i left.  The wind was moderate, and at my back for most of both ways, allowing me to ride the 3.3 miles in only 13:19- my quickest time ever with an average speed of 14.9 mph.  It would have been a great day for swimming and errands, but i had to go into work.  But hey, I did get a free lunch out of it and i probably have a few more coming.


Total summer mileage: 15.9 miles
