30 Minutes in the Neighborhood

I had intended to do 6 miles today, but my legs were sore from my short bike ride yesterday, so I only managed my typical 30 minutes. I'm signed up for the Rodeo Run 10K next Saturday, but I'm not sure that I'll be ready for it.

3 Miles on the Bike

This afternoon Bob and I took our bikes to University of Houston (Sugar Land) and rode 3 miles. It was my first time on the bike in years. We rode from the parking lot to Sugar Land Memorial Park and back. There was a headwind going out, so we averaged about 7 mph. The return was a lot faster, over 15 mph. I could tell it's going to take a while for me to get used to the seat and the use of new muscles.

30 Minutes More

It was late afternoon when I made it our for my walk. The temperatures had cooled and it was very pleasant. I'm trying to work on my strategy for the weekend - probably won't be able to do my long walk until Sunday morning.

30 Minutes Before the Rain

I was wishy washy about doing hills last night and when I finally decided that I should, Bob wasn't available. I waited until this morning to get out and barely missed the rain.
I did 30 minutes in the neighborhood. I'm waiting for my Triathlon book to arrive so that I can see "where" I need to be.

Austin - DNS and 1 hour in the Neighborhood

The weather cleared and it would have been a great day for a race, but we didn't go. When I woke up Saturday morning, Stan was ill and had been up all night. He had some sort of stomach virus and I didn't want to leave him. Bob and I agreed to cancel our trip, so we Did Not Start or in our case - Did Not Show (DNS).

I went out for one hour this morning in lieu of my long walk. The weather was wonderful.

30 Minutes Walking

It had warmed up by the time I got out this morning. I walked in the neighborhood for 30 minutes. The weather forecast for Sunday's Austin Half Marathon is a little better than it had been. There's now only a 20% chance of rain but with high winds are expected, with the temperature in the 60's.

55 Minutes of Hills

Bob and I did hills tonight. Even though it's a taper week, we still felt our legs needed the extra work-out. I'll probably walk just one more time this week.Hopefully the Austin weather holds out for Sunday.
