11.5 miles Knob Hill out and back
Started this morning off at 4 AM, cappuccino, 4 eggs scrambled, C-monster and trail at 5:15. It was so dark, I drove by the park entrance. That was funny. Had my head lamp on. I have decided I like running in the dark better than running during the day. You can't see where you are going and the next thing you know, it's time to turn around. After 6 huge cobwebs I finally decided to grab a stick. I felt very primal. Felt like I was born to run. The stick
ABQ NM 9 Mile TT
Well, I didn't win, and I didn't lose. I almost barfed twice. And I met some great people. Saw Rod and another old acquaintance Sylvio. 9 miles in 26 something. That's a good ride considering I rode the Crest yesterday, I'm at altitude, and I ride a 6 year old Klein, with Time Mountain Bike pedals. That's my first race post since breaking my jaw. I was able to confidently go into aero position on the handlebars. I was able to ride the hills without braking, and with pedaling strong, in
Sandia Crest: 8.6.10 14 miles straight up, RPE of 5.
Never road my road bike up a mountain before, it's something I want to get better at. I called Justin @ Bikes Plus Flower Mound he recommended a 28 cog in the back. So off to Coppell I went to get that baby put on before my big adventure. I have ridden up many mountains in my day. Never on a skinny tire. It was easy. I didn't have any trouble at all. We went 14 miles straight up to 10,800 feet. Not too high, but that's as high as it

30 minute Run to Starbuck's uphill at 5500 feet. 35oo yard/meter, not sure Swim. and a weird sunburn. Note to self remind little monkey to put sunscreen everywhere, and to cake it on. :o) I have so much energy, it's crazy, I feel GREAT
Go Old School: PSI; “it feels right”.
Had an awesome conversation with Thomas Mullins on the trail about tire pressure. He's so right. It's just another example of going back to OLD SCHOOL. In the olden days we used to just pump up our tires until they 'felt' right. And then, we were good to go. I have been using my tire pressure reader relegiously. Today, I lowered my tire pressure to 32 psi in back 28 up front. Thomas was like 'no way, there's over 40 pounds in each one of these. Then, he was explaining
3k in the pool
Hip, hip hurray! It's been a long time, or at least it seems like it. I've gotten in some great workouts, despite the heat. I hit FOY Masters on Friday that was a blast. Backstroke. Thursday got in strength and a great 1 hour trail run. I would have liked to go further, the heat actually held me back, I started at noon. This week was so busy I don't know if I can remember it all. I know I ran a Jeter Loop, I know I rode my bike, I
4:45 on Sunday 7.25.2010
Ok, got to the trail at 6:32. Headed out w/Rey for an EZ ride, shooting for 4 hours. Picked up Scott and just strolled and walked and coasted. It was fun. I have decided it is very fun to COAST in the SHADE. It was 73 degrees upon our arrival at the MADD shelter. So we did a lap, in 1:30, roughly. Then, I hung out and talked business with Rey and ate berries. Then I headed out for a full lap including the Bamboo forest. 1:45. I'm guessing I

SATURDAY..7/24/2010…Already
A week gone by, already?? Crazy stuff, huh? So here's the week in a re-cap. I WANT MORE TIME :o) Sunday, found a really nice apartment. I think, we're hoping to make an offer. The new finance reform, disqualifies us or anybody from purchasing it. The area we are looking into is 51% or greater rented. So hopefully, we're working on some of the details. Left ABQ at 5:00 TX time. So I knew it was going to be tough getting home. The drive was awesome, we had an overnight in Quanah, only
