Congrats Patty!!!

Ribs, hope all goes well at the Dr.

Humidity gone from the weekend and what was left of Hurricane Dean here in SoCal. It sprinkled for about 2minutes. I didn't log in over the weekend. Saturday?7.8 miles in 1:11. Hip and knee pain at a minimium. Sunday off.

3.8 mile wake up run this morning. Hip a little sore today. Knee OK.

Today is my wife's Bday. We're going out for a nice Mexican dinner tonight.

Have a great day Boomers!

Patty - Congratulations!!

What a beautiful day for a run!!
4.6 miles along the Hudson River. I used to think the river stunk pretty bad. But today, the company that drains the portapotties at the boatlaunch was doing what they do. THAT stinks bad. The river only reeks in comparison.

I am not looking forward to the ride home today. Legs are not feeling greta. At least I'll be riding AWAY from the river.

<<<Editingto add ride home>>>

The ride back home this evening was not nearly as bad as I expected. I did have some stiffness in my legs as I kept in 3rd/4th gear instead of dropping into 1st on my penutlimate hill. I've done that the last couple of times now and think I will try to continue doing so. It's right at 9.6 miles on the 11.6 mile return ride.

One thing could have turned out very badly today, but didn't. The traffic engineers changed the light cycle at the top of the largest hill I have to traverse going home. If I miss the :20 - :30 green window, I have a 2:00 wait for the next green. While I hate waiting, it's a good time to get my breath and drink a lot of water. Well. not anymore. The durn light caught me by surprise by turning green about 1:00 into the cycle. I was partly in traffic, drinking from my waterbottle, one foot in the stirrup, as the light turned green. I was able to get myself going and out of traffic (it's one of those intersections where, if your're going straight, you kinda need to be out of the way of people turning right on red) but it shore weren't pretty.

Stats according to the Computer:

11.6 miles
47:50

Total for the day: 23.5 miles cycling, 4.6 miles running

I am posting yesterdays carpy run to finally get over it. It was to be my first 7- 8 miler. I ended up doing 3.18 in 42.24 as i pulled up lame.Seems i tore a ligament or stectched a tendon down on my left cankle and the doctor has said no exercising the lower body for a week . I had to walk home also so ended up doing a total of 5.5

As i was walking home i saw DD driving my way thinking she was out to rescue me so i start waving at her and she sees me and waves and keeps on going.She said she didnt realize i was hurt. Dang Kids.

So today i rested by going and buying me some clothes to do a tri in next year and a new road bike( Sequoia elite). Also bought a tri swimming suit and goggles.Now i feel alot better!!!

the H2C $$ is a bit too steep for this pauper . . . oh well.

The Rock & Roll marathon would be fun Econo. I'm thinking of maybe using my frequent flyer miles to do the one in San Diego next summer. I have a good friend that lives there so could combine it with a visit as well.

Anyone that is also registered at Kick having problems getting in this afternoon? When I try logging on I get an error message that says something to the effect of "hacked by _______" and lists out some strange name. yikes!
