Well on Monday I went for my first ever bike ride with a road bike, and after 28 miles I simultaneously blew both of my tires! AHHH. But my mom was riding with me and was able to ride home and pick me up with the car. Then later on that day I went on a ride with my dad and uncle and my uncle blew a tire after hitting a nail! I never realized there was so much waiting biking.
But then today I went for a real running run in between job interviews. It was only 2.5 miles but I was able to make it a quasi tempo run. First mile 9:30, Second mile 7:10. Since I FINALLY got the pool ready to go I might take easy tomorrow and do some water running.

Running is pretty darned simple compared to road cycling. You'll be a pro once you can wrench the flat off the rim and back on again without using tire levers. I'm riding a little more myself these days and it definitely takes more concentration than running.
