Jodi made me promise, right off when she started training for the Milwaukee Marathon, that I would start biking with her on the long runs to make sure she got enough water. She can’t carry the amount she requires, and the water stops mean slowing down and not running through the whole distance. So, I donned my new Peugeot roadbike this morning and headed off with Jodi on a 12-mile trail ride (see map below).
We took the Sawyer Camp Trail all the way from the entrance on Bunker Hill Rd. to the other exit at its opposite end, and all the way back. This is the longest bike ride I’ve done it a long time, but it felt great. I even had the energy to make up a REALLY BAD physics joke afterward:
What did the boy leptoquark say just before his first interaction with a girl leptoquark?
“I’m getting a hadron just thinking about being lepton!”
Man, that’s bad!
