Bike the Drive 2009

The start of Bike the drive

Ruta on the bike cruising Lake Shore Drive

It was a great day for biking on the drive today. Ruta, first time on the bike in so many years.. got on it and did 23 miles.. 10 of them were really hard with a headwind of almost 21mph.
I am so proud of her.. she did awesome and not to be sore the next day or the following day is even more amazing. Great job Ruta... wooohooo

I had a good ride also... it was a beautiful day.. perfect for riding.. beside the wind. It was great.

Summary

Just being silly

Running at 8800

Well, attempted my first training at high Colorado, near Nederland north of Boulder, CO. Tamara was on the bike for support as I ran. The first 3 miles.. I labored my breathing. My heart rate was about 165 at a 10 min mile pace. While my normal is about 8:30 at about 130. It took me about 3 miles for my lungs to acclimate. My head was pounding and my breathing was labored. I had to stop about 6 times in the first 3 miles. After that, I started to feel better and start cruising faster.

It was fun... beautiful day.

Great Run with Running away

Per Mile

Well, I have to say this was the first time in a month that I actually went out to train outside. I had a great fast run with Running Away Store. I was much faster then I thought. I have to admit I was very sore the next two days. But overall it was a good run

When there is a will there is a way

Camping and picnic fun

Even though the weather was chilly and windy.... we still had our picnic.
We had such a blast. Set up our tent. We had such a feast... 2 different types of cheese, Hard Salami, 4 different types of olives, crackers, french bread warmed on the camp stove. A bottle of Pinot Grigio.
We also had fundu chocolate and strawberry and mango. But we were so stuffed.

Yes.. good times

Time Flies when you are having fun....

Danny and Ruta

We never seen to have enough time for each other.. and when we do see each other.. time flies by so quickly. How do we stop time?
I found this qoute somewhere on the internet and thought I would share it with you.
