I'm Spent
So the half-marathon training is going along well. We all got together to run 7 today, but only ran ~6. It wasn't that big of a deal since I did a 7 miler with eDrake on Wednesday evening.. I'm up to 25 miles for the week, and my time is finally starting to get down into the low 9's on the short routes.

Riding is also going good. Thor and I went and did some riding after our morning run. He dragged me down to some other trails near the Oaks, which could best be described as a sand trap. I learned the proper way to fall when mountain biking (down, falling down is the way to fall!!!!), and it really pumped my cardio up. We also did a little bit on the road ( starting with 8 miles at a 17.5mph average pace; I wonder if that included stops at lights?).

The biking's REALLY been a lot of fun. Especially getting out on the trails. It makes me feel like I'm 14 again, back when Geordan, Mike, and I used to ride the huffy express all over South Miami. It's so much fun I feel almost dirty as if I've been doing something very naughty. Oooh, I've been a naughty boy!

Total workout stats for the day, 6 miles run, ~25 miles ridden, and I'm feeling spent. I just finished a nice veggie burrito from El Indio and am off to go run some errands.
