Thanksgiving Ride

Off on a 37 mile ride to Nowata for Thanksgiving dinner.

16 miles !

After Tuesdays 13 miler and Wednesdays 21 mile bike ride, work kept me out of action for Th.,Fri,Sat. so I decided to run 16 this morning to make up something.
 I kept it at 7:00+ for the first couple of miles then brought it down under that pace for most of the remaining distance.
56:10 out/54:36 back
1:50.46 total time
What I found interesting afterward in looking at the splits was how the same segments of the out and back course were run so consistently (other than the first and last thanks to a strong finish).
My 2 mile splits are listed together by road segments as follows  Out (Return) 

Split 1 (Split 8)                                 
14:24   (12:49)

Split 2 (Split 7)
13:42   (13:40)

Split 3 (Split 6)
14:17   (14:18)

Split 4 (Split 5)
13:45   (13:48)
 This is the longest run I've run since Feb. 26th  (20 miles)

Chill on Wheels

This autumn air makes for some cold breezes while biking. I'm bundled up as much as I can but that air seems to find secret pathways to fingers and toes. Next time I'm going with wool socks to see if that fights back the cold any better.
21 miles on a bright,sunny but cold November morning.  

Managing time

Since my last post nearly 2 months ago,I've managed to get in some beneficial running /biking.
145 running/129 biking
Not on top of anything yet but slowly/surely I will get there. Ran 13 today (6:48 average out/ 6:27 back). My last mile was 6:01.
Missed some fall racing to make my year very consistent. (raced very little in the spring). Once again I plan on making a splash sometime in the new year coming. Where have I heard that before?
