One down, fourteen to go!

This could be the quote of last night; four off us went out to dinner, we consumed fourteen dishes between us and polished off two bottles of wine, gorgeous food, great friends, good times!

However what this refers to the weeks of my fall training program, so here I am running the numbers:

Saturday (replaced Sunday): Bulldog 25k (15.5m)

Monday; 5 miler

Tuesday: 10 miles on bike trainer

Wednesday: 6 miler

Thursday: 12 miles on bike trainer

Saturday: (should have been a 9 on Friday, but got home late) 7 miler

Target for the week was 35 miles running I came in at a tenth of a mile over, and 22 miles on the bike, which again I was little over, next week I flip it around and have 72 miles on the bike and 27 miles running, as they say variety is the spice of life!

Thanks to everyone for the Birthday wishes, I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend.

It's my Birthday and I buy if want to!

Well at least try and wait for them to come into stock around November, there are still a few other maybes to try but this is definitely a favorite so far.

Specialized Roubaix SL2

The first week of training is going well and I am on target despite Birthday cupcakes and going out for Thai food tomorrow night...yum!

Here are the week 3 standings in the competition.

It looks like Jenn is running away, pun intended! with it. However things are hotting up for the remaining podium slots with jkrunning and Lily on the Road, battling it out for second. In like a bullet is Run for Life giving Scott a run for his money. Then there is real bunch of two percenters with six people spread over less than one percent (is it me or does this sound like milk commercial?).

Personally, after last weeks race, I am ramping up, dusting off my bike and trainer and digging out my road shoes, Base building is nobody’s favorite pastime but it needs to be done; I have another 220 running and 360 cycling miles to cover before hills and intervals training kicks in over the next 7 weeks. The good news is that while my mileage increase so does my caloric burn. So I hope to be moving up those rankings.

This weekend I have a scheduled 50 mile bike ride with Jes from TRC who is training for a triathalon so that's going to help.

So with just under two weeks to go and Labor Day just around the corner it looks like it’s going to be about resisting temptation, staying on the straight and narrow and hoping we all end up skimmed!
