10 miles on the mtn bike again for me today.  I'm getting a kick out of this, my times are coming down on these bike rides, for whatever that's worth...lol

 

I rode 10 the other day in 50:17, today I covered the same course in 45:58.  I've got it figured I'm going so fast people can't see me, I'm just a blur...




Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...

    Rich, Trying to visualize, but it's a ...blur...

     

    Mike, starting it easy this week.  Good, smart.  Good luck on the rest of the 25 and remember to go a little slower while increasing.

     

    6 mile recovery run today.  Total time 57:30 or 9:40m/mile.  First mile was pretty bad ~10+ and probably 9:30 after that.  Have to check when I get home (upload the data from my garmin)

    P.S. Not that many more words in this message...

    By the way, I want to thank everyone here, especially Rich, for inspiring me to keep at it this fall.

     

    Not sure I could have maxed my 2-mile run on Saturday without you.

    Anyone remember the cartoon characters Calvin and Hobbs?  If you do, then you should be able to visualize a blur.  Remember when those two rode on a toboggan? lol

     

    Dark Horse, all the credit for your qualifying run rests squarely on your shoulders.  You know this bunch was rooting you on, so in a way it was a team effort, but your hard work is what pulled you through when it got tough.

     

    And judging by today's treadmill run, you're holding up just fine.  Good for you!
