Ride my bike more...

-- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums


Ran 105.25km
3 swims
1 yoga class
did ride my bike more (including two evenings of mountain biking)

so... not quite there but an ok month anyway. I think swimming is going to the backburner until winter.

Went down fighting on this one; took a real good shot at it but fell a little short.

I had a pretty decent month. A bit lighter on mileage than I was planning, but life got in the way and I missed a couple of runs. Ended up with 228km. Lots of solid runs in there- feeling strong & healthy too.
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Probably 175-200k.


Only ran 5 days 1 week this month, 160k for the month.

Instead of just thinking about it, I might dig my bike out of storage and put air in the tires. If it holds air I might even ride it. If it doesn't hold air, fixing it would be my July goal (maybe).

The bike goal was a good one. But I do have 45 minutes left in June to dig out my bike and at least put air in the tires. :wink:

The half went well but couldn't race it as hard as I would have liked with the sleep issues I've been having. Mileage for the month was 190 km.

It seems that I ran 84 K last month, but I cycled 350 K, a new best. I ran a little trail race, my first in 8 months.
next up:


This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
