Big Week: Finally completed the 100 up challenge
100 Up Challenge Sprints I'm up to about 6 x 100, with the Mojo in a run. It's not easy to get a fat chocolate lab to run!! Completed!

Can't wait to ride today with my friend Jen: 3 hours Zone 1-2 with a 30 minute Tempo. Hopefully that's a hill. One of my favorite races was this weekend: Comfort. Connie showed up in style. Isn't

I wasn't sure if I would get another long ride in. I was able to make that happen last Thursday. I got in 5 hours and some 75 miles last week, on the road. About 3000 feet of climbing.

The Daily Grind

Then, I took the oldest monkey up to Sandia, 45 in the parking lot. Snow was still nice! Great Day Alpine Skiing!

That’s pretty normal for around these parts, for me anymore. My lung capacity was awful."
