T- 141 Days
Since my last post I have been a pretty busy lady. A couple months ago I signed up for the Ultra Trail Run 50k in Pacifica. Let's be honest, I was a bit bad at training and my training partner was the same =). Anyway, we climbed about 7,000 feet, a little perspective on that is we climbed for about 10 straight miles. After we finished the marathon portion we were advised to just call it and not finish the last four miles. I was A-ok with that. It took us about 7 hours. That seems slow as I ran the San Diego Rock N' Roll Marathon in 4 hours and 55 minutes….but that was flat….this was several mountains. Anyway, it was super tough but very rewarding, minus the toe nail on my right foot I am going to lose.
My neighbor, Renee and I sometimes work out together and I had promised her that we would do a ride to Sacramento… she hit me up a few weeks after the marathon. Needless to say last Saturday we geared up and did the 85 mile ride. Again, this was not flat by any means and we climbed over the American Canyon. We also, had many turns and navigation was a challenge as well as riding in many cities with stop light after stop light…all in all it took us about 9 hours but we felt pretty proud of ourselves as that was the longest distance either of us had done on a bike before.
Anyway, worked out three hours today, a run, weights and ended with a 2.5 hour bike ride on the trainer. It was nice as I talked to a bud who is doing the HTC 140.6 series in March so she is knee deep in training so always great to talk to someone going through it. And Adam of course =)
Keep on Keepin' On,
