Big Sur Half

The youngest and I have decided to register for the Big Sur Half in November.  It's a great race and I love love love Monterey.  We have also decided to register my mom for the 5k that weekend.  She's not so sure. I know she can do it and it might be a fun vactation.  Besides, it will be cold in Missouri & Arkansas that time of year.  It might be cool in CA, but cool is better than cold.

She said she would think about it.  I said I was buying it and she had several months to get ready and find someone to help my dad watch the horses.  I operate under the philosophy that if you give people an out they will take it all too often.  So, while I can't force her to go, I can guilt her into it.  :-)

And I can't leave myself any outs either.  Now to get serious about the training!

Virtual Bike Ride - Days 6, 7 & 8

Friday, Saturday & Monday.  I took Sunday off because my legs and butt were sore.  :-)

Friday was the big day.  I went 20 miles and ended up just past Ottawa, KS.  I think that's the last total street view video I do.  Too much of a pain to track where i am and it's also long.  I like the "fly over" version where you can see a wider view of what the country side looks like.  Especially in KS where the interstate is boring boring boring.

Once I go far enough to reach Whicita I will exit the interstate and kind of cut diagonal arcross the rest of the state until I reach New Mexico where I go west on I-40.  When we drove this it took FOREVER.  KS isn't a big state unless you are driving across it diagonally.  When we drive it again this year, it will again take forever, but we will be prepared with more than 1 cd.  LOL  I forgot them last time and we had Taylor Swift. (11 year old daughter with me) and that was it.  Took awhile before I could listen to Taylor again.




Friday - 20 miles

Saturday - 10 miles

Monday - 10 miles

Virtual Ride - day 3

Today I got 5 miles in on the bike.  I've decided to add walking miles to the next day's video since who knows how many steps I'll get in tonight.

Made it to Kansas today.  Sounds more impressive than it is.  KS is only 10 miles from my house, I do there several times a week.

I drove this route once a few years ago and I will be in KS for a long long long time.  It felt like the state that would never end.  We kept seeing signs for Oklahoma, but were starting to think it was a myth.

And I'm on day 13 of my squat challenge
