Brick

I planned on a long bike ride and a short run, but my bike had other plans. I got about 16 miles into my ride and flatted. No big deal, right? Wrong. As countless cyclists passed and asked if I needed help, i told them no and continued changing my tube. I started to air up my tire and then my pump broke. I waited, but no one passed. I tried to fix the pump, but to no avail. Still no one passed. I started walking. No one passed. Eventually after I walked roughly a mile another cyclist stopped and I borrowed a pump. With an inflated tire, I rode the 16 miles back home, not wanting to risk going farther without a pump.

When I got home, I changed and headed out on an 80 minute run. Its not what I'd planned for the day, but not a terrible workout.
