Tip of the Day

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

I can't forget to tell you about: Welcome to the Team Kimmie!

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

I love running! I haven't loved running since the 9th grade. Today I did two Rolling Acre Loops and 2 Mark Lessley loops for a total of 8.5 miles.  I did this at an RPE of 4-5 on a 10 point scale, zone 1-2, for a total time of 76 minutes.  Sub 9 minute miles for Zone 1-2

Carboydrate recommendations based on exercise duration: 30-60 minutes of exercise: 6-8 g/ kg BW 1-4 hours of exercise: 8-10 g/kg BW > 4 hours of exercise: 8-19 g/kg BW The higher grams of carbohydrate may be indicative of a 24 hour race, or some other type of ultra endurance mode of exercise.

Great Road Ride, a little bit of intensity.  Some great pics of leaking pipes around gas wells that don't have vapor recovery units.  Also, some great pics of open air frac ponds. Took 30 minutes for me to get a metallic taste in my mouth.  1.5 hours for the taste of blood to be in the back of my throat and 2 hours for the base of my cerebral cortex to feel like it's going to burst.
