Tune-Up Time

Another low key weekend is in the books. With the Thanksgiving holiday and traveling for 4 days, it was the perfect opportunity to drop the bike off at the shop for a tune-up before the heavy winter training begins for the 2012 race season! This was my longest stretch off the bike this year but it allowed for a little more running.

My running right now has not been fast but based mostly on putting some time on my feet. I think I have been averaging 7:00-7:15 per mile for most of my running. This past weekend I did exceed my goal for the month of November and will have to set a much higher goal for December. This month will also be my lowest mileage on the bike all year. I believe I will end up with around 750 miles for the month but it has been a good break for the legs. My goal in December will be to still have a few days off the bike but not like November but also get the mileage back over 800.

It is also hard to believe the first indoor track & field meet is next saturday and in a few weeks the first semester will be over. This year has been flying by for the most part. Before you know it, i will have to starting really thinking serious about the 2012 race calendar......Ugh!!!!

TdO'12! Fitness level will be through the roof in '12!
