Haven't been blogging but I have been training. Running outdoors on a more frequent basis. There's a great outdoor track in Fairfield that Val introduced me to a couple weeks ago.
It's quite cushy and springy. My feet, calves, and knees love this track. My longest run has only been a little over three miles. Eventually the runs will be longer and knowing that this track is always an alternative to the treadmill or pavement eases my nerves.
Still biking when possible. I went on a 17 miler Saturday and loved every minute of it. I was riding solo as Val had some things to tend to. I saw some groups of pretty serious looking riders and was secretly envious of the whole group dynamic. I rode with a much smaller group last month and had a blast. Hopeful that we'll be able to get together again to ride.
Next month I'll be riding with a friend in the NYC century. There's a 15, 35, 55, 75, and 100 mile route. We're biking 35 miles. I don't think I'm ready for 55 and certainly not the 75 or 100 miler.
The ride starts in Central park and ends there as well. I think I read somewhere that past rides have had 6,000 cyclists. That's alot of bikes!
Hon - - you looked great 'plodding along' on the track! Glad you liked it. Perhaps I'll be joining you after I run the 5k! As always, you're my inspiration!
