11.30.14 Bye Bye November!

I'm trying my hardest to get my butt on the trainer for a 1 hour ride but I can't seem to do it

Wow, where did the year go?

Rest day for me today. My son had a sleep over last night and we are all dragging a bit :-)!

Did get out for a 1 hour bike ride with the kids. Nice and easy!

Got back from 4 days of trail running and turkey in Idyllwild and did my planned long run. (Ran 24 miles)

Did 52 miles of hard trail running while I was up there including an ascent of tahquitz(8,846 ft high)

Legs were a little fried and this run felt. Lot like an ironman run leg.

I feel tired just reading the previous entry! No training heroics here today as started taper for next week's race. 52 minutes of running to, in, and home from Terry Fox event. Paced a student for a while until he slowed down to wait for a buddy and I went on ahead. Gotta love our distances--17:12 for a "5K"......uh..... Not in the past 25 years. 4.03 km. One rather hard-core looking guy (though, oddly, running without a watch) asked me what time was on my watch when we had about half a mile to go. Looked down and it wasn't quite to 14 minutes, told him so. "What pace are you running, anyway?" he asked and I said probably 7 minute miles or a little over. Talk about confusion!

If you want a PB, come here and don't wear a Garmin! Also about 30 minutes of strength stuff later.
