| ... and I intended to get up at a reasonable hour and go for a long run this morning. Instead, alarm went off and I knew that I needed approximately 5 more hours of sleep + 2 liters of water + a throat lozenge. No running at all.
Wedding was très excellent, especially the cocktail "hour" food (A++! and the live band (A-). I'm pretty sure the food was better than the band because I'm pretty sure I didn't dance enough to burn off all the yummy cheese and fruits. :-) | ||

| Took the redeye to NY last night. Zipped over to Manhattan for some more city experience before the afternoon wedding. Not nearly as much walking as I tend to do on my visits to the city. | ||

| Tried to ride in today (early-ish, despite flying last night, just because there's so much to freakin' do in the office) but didn't get very far. It's time for new Armadillos for my bike... | ||

| Get the day off today so last night I figured I'd go to bed early and get up early to go for a ride. Going to bed early was nooo problem, but not so much on the getting up early part. Didn't get up until 8 and slothed around until 9, which meant I had less time to ride (had to pick Seabass up at 11:30ish) and that I had to slather on lots of sunblock.
Headed out towards Colossal Cave... ridiculous headwind on the way out (upish), which meant coming back was great. Didn't actually get very far because Seabass called just before 10 to say she was already done! Whoops, quick spin back home. While stopped at a light some dude in an SUV pulled up next to me and said, "Clipless sandals! Cool!" and then turned. Weird. | ||

| A very good WOG tonight. The agenda:
While stretching we went around the circle sharing our name and our approximate jogging pace. Then we ran 1 lap to loosen up, followed by 2 laps (1 mile) at "jogging" pace, so Randy could time us and see if we were lying. ;-) I ran about 8:40, which is the fast end of jogging for me, and I think within the "9-ish" answer that I gave. Then 2 strides followed by 1 mile tempo (I did about 7:50) and 2 more strides followed by 1 mile fast/5k-pace (I did 7:31). Then some more fun, a 4 leg loop across the outfields going fast, faster, fastest, slow, followed by 4 strides...Then just some easy cool down time. I probably shouldn't ride on WOG days, at least until I become superhuman. It's more important to be well rested for the running, and I could definitely feel the bike in my legs today. Supposedly still in the 90s but it sure didn't feel like it. We also had a glorious Tucson sunset! I'm pretty sure there are people on AP who would call this whole workout, "so fine!" | ||
| Strength/Core warm up/down 16:00 [1] | ||
| Stretching and stuff (crunches, plank, pushups) before, plus just stretching after.
Ride over was brisk because I was running late... but the ride home was über chill. | ||
Monday Sep 10 | ||
| Running (trail) 56:00 [3] 5.0 mi (11:12 / mi) | ||

| Morning run at Red Rock Canyon. Spent the night in Las Vegas and people will be pleased to know that I did a little more sight-seeing this time, though it was sort of curtailed when I discovered the arcade in NYNY and sort of stayed there for a while. What can I say? I'd rather blow some cash at an arcade than a casino...
Run was very nice, cool out up there and sun behind rocks or clouds the whole time. Much cooler trail than the last time I went, even though I didn't have time to do the whole loop that I wanted to do. Next time. Back to Tucson today, thank goodness. | ||
| Cycling (road) 20:00 [2] | ||
| Home from work. Tired and sweaty (that's before getting on my bike...) and very glad to be back, even though it was only 3 days.
Apparently the hotel we were in last night was across the street from where the Video Music Awards were held, whatever those are. I bet JT was there, though. | ||
