Up the ridge again. Uphill wasn't any easier but I am getting more confident on my descent.
- Miles:
- 2698 total / 428 in 2013
- Goal:
Run my first half-marathon in 2013 and maybe do two olympic triathlons. Bring 15-mile bike speed to >18mph and 5k running pace to <8:00. Beat Lochte & Phelps.

alright Solomon Temple Rd to end 11.3 mi 00:53 12.8mph pace
First steep climb of the season. It was tough but I knew I would make it. I admit to slowing down to 5 mph at the steepest parts and then when the grade relaxed just a bit and I was going 7 mph (st... read more

First, congrats on the new helmet! Second, I don't even know what to say about the rest of that dream except glad you woke up before you had to fight about why you didn't want their bike.

#dailymission still working on this. Generally, I really need to eat a lot each day to maintain my weight. But the kinds of food I eat are not especially healthy.

This reminds me of the prescription we got for our son to help him gain weight - 2 bowls of ice cream a day! They said all natural ice cream, full fat, was better than processed foods, so he should just enjoy.
