Thirsty Thursday run

Monday 3/28/06

Trying to get myself back on a decent schedule, which should include 3-4 days of running, 1-2 days of biking, 2 days of lifting, 1 day to swim. The last three weeks I have crammed all workouts in from Wed-Sun, not good.

Monday DownHome Creeper Loop, decent pace, esp considering I am coming off 16+ miles of fast paced mtb.

Mile 1: 8:20
Mile 2: 8:57
Mile 3: 8:35
Mile 4: 8:42
Mile 5: 8:56
Mile 6: 7:55

51 minutes.

Tuesday: lift

1 hour mtb, 2nd ride on beast, I really like the way this bike feels, the brain makes for two completely different rides. It also really seeks out the best lines on a trail and basically eats up hills. More suspension thus far has equaled more comfort, confidence and the ability to go full steam ahead on more technical sections. The suspension also creates a really nice platform for jumping, both take off and landing feel straight and plush. I'm still trying to figure out when to dial the brian up or down, thus far have only ridden one way or the other.

3/1/06 Wednesday

Been sick for a few days so decided, motivated actually by NPR podcast, to blog about something other than running/biking.  I'm also doing this from a plane sitting @ LGA enroute to Boston.

Every year I attend an IDC IT conference in Boston, it's really a networking event & lately about the only work travel I take.  So far this has been one of those blessed trips that occur about 1 out of 10 trips.  It started with an early departure, no traffic, and a chance to see Dean Smith enter I-40 beside me.  It was him all right; I even slowed down to let him pass.  For the record, he drives a blue Volvo cross country.  

Upon arrival at RDU, they offered a $200 voucher for a flight 1 hour later, I took it, to find out the initial flight was delayed by 2 hours.  You can’t beat that, $200 for an earlier flight.  Both flights have been empty & short.  One of those rare trips, no lines, no waits, no traffic.  Perfect!
