Trail bike -- Sat. May 17

Spent the past week miserable with a cold, too busy to take much time off and just resigned to get through it. By day 6, Saturday, felt well enough to go out biking with F and we did some good trail riding as prep for the Sunday SRRC run. Also did with R some of the plank crunches that Jason recommended -- pretty tough, and worth sticking to, I think. The week ahead will include Ivan and my first NoHo Summer 5K -- we're both also agreed on doing lots of hill running this summer. For me four main goals, along with the basic increase in mileage back up to 30+ per week:

1. aim to do only climbing and trail races, with nothing less than 5 miles;
2. do at least one solid distance run (12+ miles) each week
3. do the Tuesday 5Ks for speed work
4. increase the biking (including biking to Noho when possible) --our August trip will help there.

That's it for now. SRRC run here I come.
