First I'd like to thank all the generous people that keep donating to my Team in Training/Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fund raising account. I couldn't be happier as I'm already past the half-mark!
This is really starting to get downhill, and it's all thanks to YOU!Now let's go back to the updates.
First, I made my personal best for a mile (on the boot-camp trail loop). I know this is nowhere near where I need to be to qualify for Boston, but it seems that I'm getting closer and closer every week. For me being able to get less than 7min/mile is a big deal. If I can run 1/4 of the marathon at this pace, and 1/2 at the needed 7:30/mile pace, then I can "slack-off" the last 1/4 of the marathon, at about 8min/mile...
Now can I push that for 6 miles? Can I run at 6:30/mile? One thing for sure - I need to keep running and training - my TNT starts with a kick-off meeting next Saturday!
Anyway... enough about running - I took really lazy weekend, and aside from painting bedroom in our house, I did two nice bike rides.
Sunday Deb, Omar, Justyna and I, went to the Los Gatos Creek trail, and we cycled from Campbell to Los Gatos, and back (roughly 11 miles). The GPS data for this ride is a bit off, cause being in a group I've got distracted, and forgot to turn on the GPS on the way out for probably about 1/2 mile. On the way back, there's a "bonus" data from a quick ride to the ATM on Pruneyard, since I forgot to turn the GPS off at the end of the trail.
Finally today we did a little bit more demanding ride (one nice long uphill, but not too steep, and one quick steep uphill) in the Woodside area. It was again Deb, Omar, Justyna and I. We all started in the back on Bicycle Outfitter in Los Altos, and went over a small (about 20 miles) loop around the area. Again, being distracted by talking with the group, I forgot for almost 1/2 mile to turn the GPS on. Also on the way back we stopped at Pete's Coffee, and the data have about 1 hour less of moving time, than the total for our ride :-)
