Le professeur de trail
4 straight days of beach running and lots of biking. Loving it. I need to change it up tomorrow and planning on a pavement run - hopefully a bit longer. Our vacation is sadly almost over. But lots of and lots of biking and relaxing. Have I said yet how much I love my new bike??? Thanks Mandy for the rec of Trek. Love it so much. We have a full day on Saturday yet but then leaving early Sunday.
Then back to work on Monday
AT - funny you should post that pic. We drove up to the MD side of Assateague today. Saw many of the ponies out and about. A few people looked like they were getting too close.
QOTD: See above. Will beach it yet again tomorrow. Kids are a little sick of it but DW and I don't care. We love it.
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
I've got a '68 VW bug in my garage (my dad's car, which we are keeping for him). They definitely don't make them like that any more. That's not entirely a bad thing.
Thanks for linking the obit for Rosie Ruiz. A sad life.
Dr. J, your kids are sick of the beach? How is that possible?!?
QOTD: 25 miler in Cool, CA tomorrow. Where it will not be cool. Not looking forward to the 3:30 am alarm, but it's a 2.5 hour drive.
5/11/24 Grizzly Peak Marathon, Berkeley, CA
7/20/24 Tahoe Rim Trail 56 miler, NV
9/21/24 Mountain Lakes 100, OR
Are we there, yet?
7.2 miles - weather for South Dakota all next week, sunny, lows in upper 50s, highs in mid to upper 70s. Great for vacation and sightseeing, a little warm and sunny for racing.
My first car was a 1960 Beetle.
qotd: Packing for my trip. I'm sure I'm over packing. Trying to cut down on what I take to avoid paying for checked baggage, but all the running gear plus vacation clothes for 6 days makes it tough.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K, 9:11:09 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
Good Luck, WC! and wow, that's an incredible forecast. And as for packing, that's a case for alloting time in a laundromat IMO. But I always prefer to wear the same damn clothes all the time, and decrease the amount of dirty cllothes I'm lugging around. It's a good time to catch up on email/ internet, too.
