Hi people. How are you doing? I am fine, been doing some training lately to get my butt back into better shape. I took the MTB out for a nice 20+ mile ride after Turkeyday and it felt awesome. My toes were a little cold but I can look past that. I took the East River Bottoms route and then went up to the Big Rivers Trail to get me home.

I can't believe how many people were out riding, walking, running, playing with their dogs that day. More were out than any day I have been down there in the summer. After the first 6 miles I rounded a corner and came out of the trees into a clearing field. The Sun hit my face and all was right on this ride. About 14 miles in I found some mud on the trail, not enough to wreck anything but just enough for the cold spray to hit my face and shower the bike. I didn't care. It was probably the last mud of the season and that is sad.

Last night I was curious if I can still run at all and I wanted to get an off the bike workout in. I have done a few 5k's in the past but haven't run since the Jingle something last year. So I threw on the Under Armour stuff, running shoes a light cap and gloves and took off to see if I could run for 20 mins. Yep. 30? Yep. 35? Yep. I stopped at 38:11 because I did a loop and was home. I went over the 3.1 miles I wanted to do so I was pretty happy with that.

Well that is really all that is new so bye.
