Week 14 XT#2

Today Matt and I headed out for a bike ride. We took the BART over to Lafayette to ride the Lafayette Moraga Regional Trail that I have run a couple times. A few miles in and my quads were already tired. I think we did maybe 16 miles or so in all, with the return trip being mostly downhill - luckily, or my quads might have just quit functioning.

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride! I wish it were this temperature all the time. And hopefully it was some good cross training, although my left arch is bothering me a bit now.

Speaking of, I went to have body work done on Friday, and she told me to roll my calf and buy new shoes. I had been debating buying new shoes since I was thinking of changing types, and I was hoping I could pull off the marathon without having to buy shoes. But I guess not. Anyway, I discovered that Saucony had gone to a new version of my shoe (luckily I didn't buy them at Transports the other day because that salesman did not bother to tell me it was a new version). So I searched online and found the old version on sale at See Jane Run. Since there's a store down the street, I headed over, and they had two of my size in stock! So I bought them both - it was a steal of a deal and I didn't want to risk the new version not fitting. So now the task is to break in a new pair of shoes in less than a month. Oops.
