Now I know why they call it a "Brick"

This past Saturday was one of our Team In Training group practices...a "Brick," they call it. Well, I've never heard of a brick, at least not in the context of training, that's for sure.

So, you can imagine what was going through my mind as I drove out to Kensington on Saturday morning. "Heck," I thought,"I'm fat enough as it is. They don't need to strap on any more weight!"

Thankfully, its nothing like that...its worse! We rode our bikes for 16 miles, and quickly followed that up with a 3 mile run. Okay, so "quickly"...hmmm...well...ahem. Let's just agree that I might need some poetic license liberties from time to time.

So, where does the brick come in? It's how your feet feel half way through the practice. And what your head is filled with to do something like this!

But seriously, I am part of a wonderful team, and I can't thank them enough for the support they shared as we made our way through our practice. Just think, we get to do this again next week, and the week after that, and the week after that, and...oh crap!
