The freedom of being single and having no family is sometimes the best thing in the world. On occasion, the structure of scheduling and planning via limited open time slots would be nice instead of sitting here with the next 12 hours open, which breeds inefficient time-use. Here I sit at 8:09am typing indoors when I could be out on a trail. Oh, I'll get out there soon enough but I'm not sure where or for how long I want to go! I'm thinking an off-road brick of 10 mile mtn bike, 10mile run, 10 mile mtn bike would be fun. My fear is after one of the stages there's too much pull during clothes changing and such just to stop. More likely, I'll do a 2.5 hr run and 1.5 hr mtn bike. Marshal Mesa as a starting point is a likely choice... Not so good at following a plan (reason I don't typically post workouts before I do them). Let's see how it plays out.
Got up Green with a slow, worn down GZ yesterday (he did a lap up Green before we met) but I was able to open up with harder effort for a while on Mesa trail for the return loop.
Yeah, I ripped down the moving plans post. I'll keep it to myself for now.

Like I said, it's tough for me to plan a workout. 21+ miles in 3:01. Nothing terribly interesting about this run other than experimenting with how a bonk progresses and how long it takes for 1 gel to pull me out of it (took like 10 mins). Now, mtn bike ride. The quality work done at University Bikes made the bike velvet-smooth. The front fork is like new.
I hear you on the training; like the move, who knows where you'll end-up. That's the beauty of it all.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember that email I sent about a fall r2r2r in place of that really intriguing (sarcasm) Boulder 24 hour? Who the hell am I do suggest changes to your schedule? Well, I did.
Have a good one.
Heck, I don't mind (and could probably use) suggestions in many aspects of my life, including running. I do remember that email and think it's a solid idea.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like the glide of a freshly tuned bike! And those brick workouts definitely turn up the heat a bit on the workouts. Nice job!
