SCARY RELIEF!!!

First off, let me backtrack..

on sunday we went on our first fully loaded ride up to my aunts.. we ended up riding 65ish miles round trip. had some bike troubles on the way but got them fixed up at REI reading. the rain held off most of the time but it rained steadily on the way home. good ride, bikes def. weigh a lot more than i had expected but was not as bad. chad was hungover like it was his bachelor party. ended up booting 10 miles in but finished strong. did i mention chad broke his toe saturday night? it's going to be a great first week for him.

yesterday we rode around boston and rode the boston marathon course from finish to start and then back, all in all 75ish miles. we picked up our pace by 3mph or so, we didn't ride the ride loaded, just trying to put more miles into the legs. weather held up again, had a great time. had lunch at marathon deli, they make some bomb wraps.. chad reported that he hasn't pooped in 2-3 days, which we found to be pretty hilarious, more hilarious was that he followed it up with a story of how he almost crapped himself in college.

good news though: chad just pooped about an hour ago, so we're safe.

more good news: i passed my board exams. PROOF HERE: http://license.reg.state.ma.us/public/pubLicRange.asp?profession=Allied_Health_Professions&licenseNo=18692&querytype=license&color=red
