[Photos: from the National MX race this afternoon.]
It was nice to sleep in just a little before heading out the door at 8 AM for a run. Today it was 8 miles, with miles 4 and 5 being done on a mile loop and trying to run faster than the rest of the run. That way I have time to warm up and then time after to keep my HR up. Today's run took 67 minutes; avg HR 143 and max 164. The middle miles were 7:26 and 7:15 with avg HR's of 150 and 155. Nothing amazing there .. but these days just putting in extra effort is an accomplishment. [Still no word from any coaches yet...]
Later in the morning we headed south to watch the MX Nationals. It was my first time ... and Oooo my did it make me want to ride (
not like I ride but like they were riding: fast and flying). It was a rough track and the riders were just doing an amazing job. They made it look easy... That was a fun trip - thanks CV for taking us!

Wow, that flag picture is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe were standing at the starting line and Jacob was using it for shade. He said, "Dad, you should take a picture of the flag with the sun behind the star." - the rest is history ... :-)
