Cross-training

Rode my bike into the office today. Even with traf­fic and not push­ing par­tic­u­lar­ly hard, I aver­aged 16mph on a most­ly-flat route. That’s pret­ty good for me, espe­cial­ly not push­ing hard. I used to be able to aver­age 19mph on a flat course, but that was push­ing as hard as I could and, you know, back in the day. And where do you find a flat course, anyway?

So I think all this run­ning is mak­ing me a stronger cyclist. I haven’t even been cycling much, but my quick jaunt in to the office felt great, bet­ter than it’s felt cycling in a long time.

It was only 8.5 miles in, but if I can get some of these fires put out here at work, maybe I’ll go for a run up here at Embar­cadero or over to the Mari­na Green. Maybe. We’ll see.

Yes, I’m AT WORK. on a Sat­ur­day. This is not good, but I’ve got stuff bro­ken down that has to work. And basi­cal­ly I broke it, so here I am. Let’s try and make this go fast so I can go out and run.

Maybe run Twin Peaks again tomor­row? That’d be fun.
