Pain is my friend

    Finished the week with 67 miles. Long run was amazing and went better than I thought it would. Did my own 50k run on a paved trail around this community that has a lake. It's 3 miles around. Finished in 4:11.  Also had 6k vert this week.

    24 hour loop race?

     

      Funky, good news about the new job but bummer that the hip is bothering you.  Maybe connected to riding your bike more to work?  Have you tried adjusting the bike?

       

      20 yesterday and 14 today.  55 for the week, with about 7800' vert.  So happy that the air cleared up, although fires are still burning north of here.  And, still several more weeks before rains are due, plenty of time for things to get worse...

        Gatsby, thanks. the job is over already. too unsafe. suffice to say ppl with a lot of paper dont always know what they are doing! the hip seems to be a bit better after not cycling. bike fit is good...as good as it could be anyway what with my lack of recent cycling and flexibility that gets less and less as the years pass! i find i can run slowly as long as i keep my cadence up but running workouts and speed are out for the foreseeable future. i hope things get better and hope you got some of the rain we have this week. it's the warm type which is nice for running!

            Goal = 400 trail miles for the month.

             

            Looks like I'll finish Sep with around 425 - 435 ish.  I'll take it.  Solid month of training at last.
