my little SMP duathlon

What a beautiful day! Low 80's, low humidity, lots of sun, no wind. Perfect for hitting the SMP trails after work. I thought I would see how trail running felt again also, so this morning I loaded up my mtn bike and running shoes so I could go after work.

Had an excellent close to two hours of activity. Two laps on the bike, both orange and purple trail, great rework of the trails. And then I ran the orange trail (2.5 miles).

I need to get a computer on the mtn bike, because I'd really like to see how far I ride. I don't want to see how slow I ride. Both trails are 4.5 miles, I did them twice for 9 miles. It took a little more than an hour once I got going. I did get in a nice rhythm though, and the second lap was much faster.

And no ticks, it appears. Of course, I coated myself in DeepWoods OFF first.

So we'll see if the old lady can get out of bed for spinning tomorrow. And if I ride to work on Thursday, will I be too whupped for a good race on Saturday??

Monday was the usual Monday: spinning in the am, yoga in the pm.

Sounds awesome! I am especially pleased there were no ticks.

You better not do anything after you ride home Thursday or Friday to rest up for Saturday!! And eat really good, healthy food.
