Better Safe Than Pink

Good morning! You know Saturday morning good mood Kelly? It's up times 100 day because I'm at the Cape, it's beautiful outside and I have absolutely nothing I HAVE to do this weekend. No obligations what-so-ever beyond the usual grocery shop for the week and remember to work out at some point :)

So those of you who wanted to cry (and/or yell at me) when you found out I was sporting a helmet from my middle school days will be happy to know I have invested in a new, much-safer version of my old ridiculous helmet. Obviously I wanted more than anything to sport a beautiful pink helmet that would match my bike. But unfortunately the guy at the store managed to convince me that yellow and red (what an ugly combination!) would be much more visible and 100 percent safer.

It's hard to argue with safety when my serious fear of traffic keeps me on the bike trail 85% of the time. My goal of this year is to get more into biking on the road so I suppose a hideous safe helmet is in order. Though, do you really think red is more visible than pink? I don't know...I think bikers are just a little stuck up and don't want something girly like bike representing their sport. Boo, why did I let them suck me in?

Oh well, I have bigger biking problems this morning, like, what am I going to wear? (let's face it, I am not someone bikers want representing their sport anyway!) I completely forgot to pack bike shorts or even any kind of work out pants. The only pants I have here are jeans, leggings (I did consider wearing these but decided I would freeze because they are too thin- I'd also probably flash my underwear at everyone) and my pajama pants. Eric taught me how to roll up my pj pants in case I want to ride with those on...but they are striped and ridiculous and it's only going to be a last resort.

Especially because I am going clipless for the first time this morning and I am definitely anticipating some serious falls! In spin class I can never get my shoes to lock in with the pedals so I am hoping I am more successful on the road when it really matters!

Now I just have to wait 20 minutes for a sporting goods store to open so I can get something relatively appropriate to wear. I have to say, I love biking, but it is much more of a process than running, huh? I promise if I do have to resort to wearing pajama pants I will get a picture for all of your entertainment.

What is the most ridiculous thing you've worn while working out (biking, running, anything!)?

What is everyone up to today?
I am obviously going to bike and then provided I make it out without any serious injuries, I'll be hanging out with Eric all day and then meeting Katie and Adam for Japanese food tonight!
