It's been a good run (har)...

But I'm Tweeting now.

Buncha workouts

Thursday: Ran Montgomery (=8mi).

Friday: Ran 4mi on the treadmill and spun for 30min.

Saturday: Ran Girard with S from her house (so more than 5?)

Sunday: Biked Gladwyne with S (~30mi)

Monday: Biked to Baltimore from Wilmington (~80mi). The ride is quite a bit easier when (a) you don't run a marathon the day before and (b) don't ride it on a heavy steel bike.

Threes

I blog in spurts these days.

Monday: biked Narberth and ran 3, lifted upper body @ Pottruck.

Tuesday: met S for a mid-day run (Black loop). I think this is around 7?

Wednesday: ran 4 treadmiles, 30 min spin.

Really hoping to ride tomorrow. But it's so cold!

Weekend

Friday: Ran 3.5mi at Pottruck, lifted legs.

Saturday: biked BCP 65mi loop with S.

Sunday: legs very sore (from lifting + two days). Just did 30min elliptical at Pottruck, lifted upper body.

Vacation!

Have been up in Williamstown helping to pick next year's Herchel Smith fellows.

• Friday: biked Gladwyne with S. Returned via a hilly route on the west side instead of taking the bike path.
• Saturday: Interviewing smart kids all day. Nothing!
• Sunday: biked a 50 mile loop recommended by Joe Cruz. Finished with the climb up Whitcomb Hill and back via the hairpin turn on Route 2.
• Monday: Hiked around the Hopper in Williamstown
• Tuesday: Ran 8+ miles in Randolph, VT. Then hiked Camel's Hump with S.
• Wednesday: Did a short hike with S around Brandon Pass. Ran Montgomery Bridge back in Philly.
• Thursday: Early AM Gladwyne loop on the bike with S.

Strawberry Mansion

Up and over. I think this is 8-9 miles. It certainly took me that long (1h8m). I's slow these days.

Narberth

Did another double: Narberth ride with La Collina hill (it's a big one!), ran 2.5mi at Pottruck.

Gladwyne

A slow-ish, wet-ish ride.

Nine

Ran the St George's Hill Loop. 9 miles, something around 1h10m.

Weekend

Saturday: biked to Princeton. Something around 3hrs.

Sunday: biked Trenton to the city line. Something around 1hr. Ran 5k.

Week's End

Thursday: Narberth Loop with S, something over 1hr.

Friday: reverse Gladwyne Loop, met S at Balligomingo, turned around and came back to Manayunk with her, then reverse Narberth. About 2hrs.

Double

Ran 2.5mi warmup at Pottruck and lifted.

Also rode Gladwyne Loop with a random triathlete dude.

Getting cold...

Monday: snuck in a Narberth loop before the truncated World Series game with Johann and S at South Philly Tap Room.

Tuesday: cold! Went to Pottruck late. Tried to run twice but kept getting bloaty cramps. Ended up just doing 2.5mi. Then hopped on a bike (I'm not a big fan of spinning but...): 30min warmup random, 20min intervals.

Weekend

Thursday: ran Sweetbriar (5-6mi?)

Friday: rode to Wiss with S, ran to Valley Green (5.5mi), then the reverse.

Saturday: ran Montgomery Loop (around 8mi?)

Sunday: rode Villanova Loop with S (3hrs+)

These is my rodes

• Saturday: wanted to ride with S and Amanda again down to Granogue but stayed to work the morning instead. Then went to a Penn coached clinic where we rode up and down W River Dr slowly. Finished by riding out to Bala with Erica, then a Gladwyne Loop.
• Sunday: started on a Narberth loop with S and Amanda but we ran into Ross so I split off to go a farther... except I broke a spoke on my new DA wheel so shortened by coming back via Manayunk. Ran a 5k and lifted at Pottruck that night
• Monday: ran 4mi on the treadmill and spinned (spun?)
• Tuesday: biked with S on the Narberth loop, then went to Conshy via BFV / Gladwyne route. Back via North Lane and River Rd.
• Today: biked for 2.5 hours. Got lost but eventually ended up going past Bryn Mawr and Villanova, then backtracked and found Mt Pleasant so finished with Gladwyne loop. Cold, but the AmFIB shoecovers S gave me are sweet.

Hanging out with a girl who shares your hobbies (obsessions) is pretty OK.

Gladwyne

(Where else?)

With S and her friend Amanda. Sped home from Umbria to get a crisp in the oven for PLClub.

Gladwyne

And again!

Awesome Dura-Ace shifters have loosened up with the ~160-170 miles I've put on the new bike in the last few days... need to find time to adjust them.

Gladwyne

Did the full loop (minus the Boligomingo Rd bit). Second half in the dark. Boo.

Ambler

Did the Ambler ride with Maria from Penn Cycling (whose brother is hoping to postdoc with my adviser--random?!)

Gladwyne

Was planning to bake bread and work this AM, but S, Molly, and Pat were going riding so I decided to tag along. Started out on the Gladwyne loop but Pat broke his chain mashing up a little hill in some diagonal gear combination just before Mt Pleasant.. so he and Molly had to bail and wait for a pickup... finished the loop with S.
