Have a bike, have Austin!

Tim's mountain bike with road tires, Schwinn frame

That's a Shimano Deore XT groupset and a Bell helmet


Last Sunday morning I did my long run but with a difference; instead of running to some random place, I ran to my supervisor’s house, Tim. I asked him earlier whether could I borrow one of his bikes for training and he said yes. So I told him that I’ll run to his house to get it from him today as he didn’t drive to work for the whole last week; and run I did. It wasn’t far; about 14 km away and it took me around 1 and half hours of running. He wasn’t at home so he left his bike beside his garage and was so kind to leave some energy bar (chocolate brownie kind of energy bar) and a bottleful of water in addition to the helmet and spare tube. I was thankful for that energy bar; I was feeling a little hungry then. Afterwards, I cycled back to my house and that took only 37 minutes! Such huge difference! With the bike now in my hands, I can conquer Austin!
