It is hard to believe we are almost halfway through Dec. Which means I am almost half way done with running everyday. So far it has gone pretty well. I didn't really recover enough after Sunday so now all my runs leave me feeling like I haven't run in months. I should probably slow down a little bit. I don't want to burn up/out before Chang's in Jan. I have a long run of 9 miles scheduled for this Saturday. I'm also mtn biking the AZ Trail (starting from the Pistol Hill Rd trailhead) on Saturday w/the mtn bike club from work.
Today is our program's holiday lunch. Steak at Sullivan's. Yum. Then Erik and I are headed to either FI or Sweetwater so he can take me on some of the stuff I haven't done yet. Perhaps I won't be scared out of my mind when I ride these places at night if I'm more comfortable during the day. He keeps reminding me that I have this sweet bike I paid $1,200 for sitting in the garage and perhaps I should ride it. Perhaps he is right. But until Sunday my focus had been running. Now I can branch out a little bit. I have to start getting my butt in gear for the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo (assuming we find a 4th). I have about enough endurance to get me through a lap. Maybe 2. I'm sure Liane will be thrilled to read that.
I have also decided to try doing some of the MBAA races next year. I'm trying to get myself to trust myself a bit more. I've found that when I ride alone (or with people I don't know), I tend to just let myself ride instead of always thinking about what is next. I do that with Erik. Especially since he rides behind me (so he won't leave me behind), but I get nervous with him watching.
I've gotten off the topic of running a bit. Oh well, still not fond of it, but it is getting a little easier. So far haven't missed a day, I've come close but I've managed to squeeze exactly 2 miles out on those occasions. I also decided to start going to yoga. I'm hoping this helps with my lack of core and my ever dimishing flexibility. How I miss those days when I used to dance.

Funny how the price of the bike motivates us to get out and use it. I do the same thing, and feel bad if they don't get out into the sunlight.
Now I get to stalk you on facebook, BT, and blogger! ;)
