My longest bike ride yet…
Ugh my legs are hurtin. But thanks to my buddy James, who is a road biker, I were able chalk up a 28 miler today from my house, to his, to UCSD campus then back home along rose canyon. man oh man, in one day I exceed all of last weeks milage for running / biking /swimming / surf paddling together. I can’t wait to see how I feel tomorrow!
I have been going to my old High School the last two weeks to run with the team there. Good to see the program getting some attention, and I enjoy running with the kids. They haven’t really warmed up to me all that much but that’s to be expected after just two appearances. If I can make a few more, things might be kinda cool. The coaches are good, so I am not trying to supplant them, just add another guy who cares about how they do to the picture.
I have 5 weeks to go before the triathlon. Hopefully I make a good showing and enjoy it enough to prompt my interest for future ones.
Celso has dropped off the plate for a training buddy, due to injury and too busy, but thats ok. I am finding alot of people to get my butt in motion, and I am grateful. If a marathon is ever in my future though, he will be critical, so he better read this and get his ice pack on!
Ok all, nothing too crazy and profound today. I figure after the last couple of posts, I should throw in a free and easy one to keep the mood light n fun.
Aloha all!

Oy, my legs hurt for you.
Will you give Steph a hug for me? I’ve been thinking of her (and you) and hope that you are doing okay with losing Cheeto. Oh, tears for you guys!
