Sept 16th - Sept 22nd 2007

Hmm,
skipped another week. I have a pitiful excuse, Nancy and I went to the west coast, rented a convertible and rode up Hwy 1 North of San Francisco and spent a couple of days camping in Humboldt redwoods. Cool.

Basically didn't do a whole lot this week, went to my pilates class on Wednesday. Then I rode the bike quite fast to work (well, high heart rate), got smarter and ran slow on Saturday.

Friday 9/21
Bike to work - 1:16:36, 18.6, 23.82, 160 - windy, had some nasty side and head winds once in a while. Relatively cool. Drank beer in the evening instead of a ride home.

Saturday 9/22
Run: Decided to go slow, so I figured I'll go out on the bike path and run for about an hour, turn back and run home. It turns out I made it to 124th & Washington, a convenient marker to turn around. Stats:
Out: 56:00.68, 13'13", 4.236 mi, 141
Back: 57:38.13, 13'25", 4.295 mi, 147

Well, I am quite happy with this, my legs don't hurt, I can comfortably run 8.5 miles in 2 hours, no blisters, no knee pains, no gasping for breath. This is a pretty good starting place. The weather was a bit hot on Saturday but this may be a nice route to do every weekend to gauge my progress.
