    Rovatti - Nice week again, and with more miles (and cross training!) than I got.


    Ace - How far do you have to go to get on some trails?


    A light week from me (37mi), but I did have two good workouts (hill repeats and V02Max). Looking to get the mileage back up starting this week. I need to find a group to do LRs with this summer, if possible. I don't have a problem with getting solo workouts in (nearly 12 miles this morning), and usually the same for easy stuff, but for some reason the thought of doing 14+ by myself isn't appealing right now.
    Good workout this morning - my first time doing ~mile effort reps since probably early/mid fall.

    Pretty good weekend overall, even without a LR. I finally found out (and cleared up) why DD1 seemed to be holding back while playing soccer this season, DD2's attitude (that had been on a severe decline) rebounded and she has been just a treat, and let DW get some much needed time to herself for Mother's Day.

        keen: I'm pretty lucky that I can drive 10-15 minutes North, South, or West and be at some decent trails. If I drive up to 30 minutes in any direction I have a plethora of options.

         

        clever: nice week! You have any race plans/adventures in the near future?

            I don't suppose your new shotgun shack is near any running trails?

                I figure it's about 200 yards to the Rim Trail, which connects to various other things. But those 200 yards are uphill! Woe!

                  I'm about 300m from an indoor swimming pool - does that count?

                   

                  Also, I'll drop off last week:  45 miles, 19 "miles" of pool-running, and 1000 yards of swimming

                  M: 9 "miles" pool-running.
                  T: 3 miles very easy (8:46), yoga, and then 5 miles very easy (8:27). 
                  W: Off except for some DIY yoga in the morning.  [Colonoscopy in the morning]
                  Th: Upper body weights/core and 10 "miles" of pool-running.
                  F: 7 miles easy (8:56), yoga, and then 5 miles very easy (8:37), plus drills/strides
                  Sa:  10 miles very easy (8:48), drills, strides, and upper body weights/core.
                  Su: 14.5 miles - first 8 averaging 8:29, next 6 averaging 6:54, and then a half-mile cool-down.  Followed with light leg strengthwork and 1000 yards recovery swimming.

                   

                  As of this morning, I am still a bit tired from Broad Street.  Apparently medical procedures that require fasting and dehydration are bad for race recovery.  Who knew?

                  Everyone's gotta running blog; I'm the only one with a POOL-RUNNING blog.

                    Hi Everybody

                      "race"day weather this weekend is going to be awesome! You ready for this rlk?

                      https://www.sfgate.com/weather/article/atmospheric-river-spring-bay-area-forecast-13843662.php

                      After a break from the wet weather on Friday, a second soaker is forecast to sweep the Bay Area on Saturday afternoon. The wettest period is bound to be Saturday night and showers could linger into Sunday morning, impacting the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco.

                       

                      https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/bay-to-breakers-costumes-2018-race-sf-festival-12929190.php

                       

                      Add in the 15-20 mph forecast and it's pretty much my February/March. Who knew I was training for Bay to Breakers so early? Sucks the weather might ruin plans to take NeRP to the zoo. Oh and I'm slightly upset the race organizers say no strollers allowed in the race. It wouldn't impact much.

                      Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.

                            I'm not sure I want to visit the new residence.

                             

                            EDIT: On second thought after looking at the photos I kind of want to move in.
