weekend of aug 28/29 2010

I had a pretty active weekend with hot yoga saturday morning followed by an 80 k bike ride from Charlottetown to Lakeside and back at a pretty brisk pace. We averaged over 31 k per hour with some side winds. I felt pretty strong and as i have been saying on her, my cycling is getting stronger near the end of the season (which makes sense i guess) I have vowed to start using the trainor this winter so that when i start in the spring again it won't take as long to get back to a fairly good level. I was going to do a roadrunners race on sunday but got a bit lazy and i just went for an easy 11 k run in Charlottetown. This time last year, i was recovering from ironman canada and was somewhat sick afterwards. Its funny, my friend Corena and I both admitted that we are ready to sign up for another one if we can decide which one to do. I checked today and there are still community foundation spots available for lake placid 2011 which is the most convenient one to get to. I am going on vacation this week to Cape Cod and plan on doing lots of running. i am also taaking my mountain bike as there are some good rolling trails through the sand dunes.
