Trail hike with the fam. at Rockwoods Reservation annual Maple Sugaring Festival. Fun with a good dose of yum!

Strength45:00 [3]
Late night session: jump rope, theraband and dumbbell stuff, pushups, core, lateral tuck jumps over step bench, mountain climbers with gliding discs. Alternated strength and aerobic moves to keep HR up. Good stretch after.
Bike1:09:08 [3] 13.7 mi (11.9 mph) ahr:153 max:164
Work -> Hamburg -> LV center road -> O&B on lower doubletrack -> across 94 and up Hamburg to work -> lap around cell
This was the inaugural run of my new Garmin (!). Combo of holiday gift cards, store credit, un-heard of 10% discount, and free shipping made it justifiable. Still figuring out the details but my first observation is that it's distance varies a fair amount from the bike computer (.2 mi. on this ride). Normal? Assume the Garmin distance is more accurate?
Had my bike at work and was intending to ride late afternoon but got a little too busy (and I will admit to a certain amount of wussing out on my part as well - doubt that would have happened on a nice sunny day!).
Exercise in adaptation: with hubby out of town for the rest of the week on biz, plans for the day vaporized when snoogie wookums #2 woke up with a dreaded "pinkish looking eye". No school for her and a morning of shuffling with pediatrician, pharmacy, fast BlackBerry thumbs for work stuff, and tag-team with MIL partway through the day. So thankful for my MIL!

Run15:00 [3] shoes: Inov8 Trail Roc 255
Seriously abbreviated work day so this would have to do. Threw on the running shoes for a brisk (temperature, not pace!) lap around the disposal cell. Quiet and meditative -- beautiful restored prairie on one side and 1.5 million yds3 of radioactive waste (low level!) peacefully sleeping on the other.
9 PM
Strength/Stretch15:00 [1]
Homework done and everyone in bed. Just some simple stretching and core work...then bed for me too. Pooped.
Work -> Hamburg Trail -> drop into Lost Valley -> hang a left @ bottom of hill to get in some singletrack -> back to work. Made it before the rain! Surprisingly un-sloppy (but I wouldn't ride it). Pretty darn slow pace.
