Last night, I was reminiscing about the trip that Alisha Little Lion, myself and Gary took to the open hill country of Western Texas three years ago. There are so many memories from that trip, including:

Last night at the gym. someone asked me how much training I did on the trip so I thought I’d add it up to see. For the 7 day training period, here’s what I got. Swim: 40 min Bike: 322 miles / 19 hrs 45 min Run: 61.2 miles / 9 hrs 18 min [...] This morning, we packed up and checked out of the lodge. Looking at the drive time from Fort Davis to El Paso airport and the flight departures tomorrow morning, we decided it best to check out early and stay the night in hopping El Paso. We’re staying at the Microtel, which has bigger rooms [...] I started the day shelled, but it didn’t stop me from getting my butt out of bed and proceeding with the endless volume. First was the morning run. Only 30 minutes at a per mile pace about 40 seconds slower than usual. Felt OK. “As slow as it takes” continued to be the mantra [...] A good finish to the year! And a beautiful day to boot! Morning Run: Alisha and I ran to the highway and back for 4.6 miles in 38:15. What was great about it was that it was the first run since I’ve been here where I didn’t get lightheaded. Looks like I’ve got the [...] As planned, I skipped the morning run and did some stretching and self massage. I woke this morning to a sunrise that belayed another light snow dusting. Great. Oh, and it’s frigid. So we put off starting the ride until almost 11am when it’s in the balmy 40′s, although [...] Since it’s cold and there’s still snow on the ground, we decide to forgo riding and make this a long run day. We put in a moderate 10k this morning before the snow bunnie act, then head out early afternoon into the bowels of the hunting jeep trails of Sproul Ranch. One of the [...] Things started off normal enough this morning. We loaded up the warmie gear and hit the trail for a nice, relaxed run to get the blood going. We stopped a million times for photos of the scenery and snow, but Alisha got some good ones. See here for the photos from the run. [...] Oh gosh. Where do I start? The beginning, I guess. We got up and went running the other direction on the jeep trail. I turned around at 3 miles and headed back. I forgot to recharge the GPS so it died, so I don’t exactly know how long it took. We got on the [...] So we’re saving the longer Fort Davis to Tirlingua ride for tomorrow. With the building up of the bikes, sleeping in, getting on the internet late morning and all, we just didn’t have the time. Which turned out fine. Instead, we did Fort Davis-Alpine-For Davis for a 60-miler. Well, Alisha did the whole 60-miler. [...] |
