Quarterlife

Posted by Active Toby Jul 15, 2008

Preview: I turned 25 last week and celebrated San Diego style

Thursday: Cycle-commutes and trail run

Friday: I had the ‘fellaz’ over after work for my Backyard Birthday Bocce Beer-BQ and Timmy aka Grillmaster hooked up a delicious beer-boiled Bratwurst feast.

Saturday: Marie picked me up after her 25-mile trail run and we checked into Estancia for the night and hit up Sushi on the Rock for some killer rolls and of course Sake!

Sunday: After we checked out, we went next door to the Torrey Pines Gliderport above Black’s Beach and hiked down the beach to the little canyon trail.

Marie and I hiked back up this fun little slot canyon to the top of the bluff overlooking La Jolla Cove to the south and Torrey Pines State Beach to the north.

This is what gave me the idea to go kayaking in La Jolla so just like that we rented a double sea-kayak and paddled out of La Jolla Shores.

I spent the rest of the day on the couch in and out of sleep—totally exhausted from the birthday weekend. So far, it’s not so bad being 25 :)

To stay active and not feeling “old,” I’m hitting the workouts hard this week:

Monday: ActiveX, La Jolla Shores swim
Tuesday: Cycle-commutes, TCSD track workout: Mixed intervals: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 800 at 5K race pace or slightly faster. Recovery after each interval is about a minute and a half.
Wednesday: ActiveX, Outdoor Outreach meeting
Thursday: TCSD Aquathlon
Friday: La Jolla Cove swim

Toby,

Happy birthday!

My 50th is coming up in August. That will put me back as the youngest in my age bracket. Always look forward to that; makes taking home medals easier.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. San Diego is one of our favorite places to vacation.

Hey thanks Paul--yeah I'm in a new age group too for triathlon: 25-29. But in ultra marathon is under 29.

Next time you're planning to come to town, give me a shout and we'll meet up for a run

Hey we'll do. We may be coming that way for our daughter's soccer tournament this fall. I'll let you know.

Thanks for the invite.

I'm glad you had such a great b-day weekend and kicked off your quarter life without crisis!

That slot canyon looks like a blast. Where is it exactly?
