highlights from the last week and a half

well it's still hot. Or it was until today. Somehow mid-80's seems cool. Actually it was quite cool this morning at 7 am when I headed out to meet E for a long road ride. I sure hate getting up early on a weekend (or a weekday for that matter) but love having 30-plus miles done by 9 am.

The best thing about the ride today was getting caught behind a pickup towing a smoker .... It never got above 15 mph so we were stuck behind it going up a hill. I thought maybe a barbecued rib or chicken bit might come flying back. Only in KC ...

What else. ... I'm on week 2 of the 0-to-1650 program. This week is 900 yards. I seem to have trouble remembering if I'm on #3 or #4 of the 100 yard sets.

Thursday was a really hot, windy and sucky road ride at SMP. I should have mountain biked to avoid the wind. I only did 13.5 because it was soooooo crappy. I also dropped my chain so had to stop and fiddle with that.

Wednesday was a nice 50 minute run. I hope to build up the long runs by 5 mins a week. I'm not sure that will get me all the way to 13.1 but I'm not sure I can handle much more.

There were some other swims, a particularly hot and cruddy run to Loose Park. A nice mountain bike workout. etc. The usual.
