Gobble Gallop

 Well due to high COVID numbers, this year's Gobble Gallop was moved to a virtual race. But the family got up, got dressed and did the race outside in our neighborhood. It was actually a really nice day for the race. I choose a route that turned out to be pretty slippery, and I tried to push myself a little bit. It was fun, but I have a feeling I injured myself again.

New Toy for the Pain Cave

 I have been considering it for a while, and with COVID shutting down half of them at the Y, I decided to pull the trigger and bought myself a treadmill. It was nearly 8 weeks from order to delivery, but it finally showed up today.

I am still slowly building up to running again, but having this in my basement will be a game changer for me this winter. Now I just need my own pool....hmmm

Outside Bike...in November?

It was surprisingly warm today for the first full weekend in November, so I figured I would take advantage and get outside on the bike. Just a long cruise with a couple of short intensity intervals is what I was after today and I was successful.

The wind really picked up for the second half of the ride. It was about 12mph when I left but an hour in, it really picked up and was 20 gusting to 30. So much of the ride home was either a crosswind or into the wind.

By 2 hours in, my legs were pretty toast. I didn't sleep very well last night so that didn't help matters either. But it was sunny, upper 50's in November, and great to be outside riding again.

Got a text from a friend today that I found funny. "Saw you on the bike today on industrial. You were heading home. I said, whoa, that guy is fast...then I said..wait, is that Tim? Saw your Strava and yep sure was."
