Gearing up!

This week I ran 11.2 miles again. On Friday, I did my first cycling of the season. Since it was a downpour day, I did spinning, actually. Saturday, after a five mile run and a birthday lunch at Todai (yum), I got to go b-day shopping! Nothing like a couple hours at the bike shop.

For starters, I had that persistent flat rear tire problem. And my bike tire goes flat too. They were working on my bike when I heard a loud pop and "I found the leak!" With that fixed, I had them put on aerobars and new brake pads. I also got arm warmers and glove liners, so I am ready to start training in earnest. As soon as the rain lets up a bit. Until then, I will spin.

I thought I was in good shape, but my rear and my quads are not happy after just 30 minutes of spinning.

Why the sudden focus? I registered for the Tierra Bella Century on April 19. Less than three months to get ready!
