Monday Night: Chanticleer at USC. Made me cry when they sang Ave Maria.
Tuesday Night: "Chant-a-Kid" ... aka the school christmas program. It also made me cry.
Tuesday afternoon: Parent teacher conference. 2 for 2: both kids are doing great, are on track, and good kids. So that sums up my parenting report card.
Wildcat: mountainous bike rides are on hold until it warms up. I hear there was snow on Tilden Tuesday morning and there's area ice alerts today until 9am. I don't have gear for that kind of weather and I don't need to work on my air-landings at 20 mph going down hill. Nope, that would definitely kill the holiday buzz.
I'm running everyday again; even days where I'm biking. In fact, I plan a second run today. I think I can do a straight hour again, which is on the docket for Friday. That's where I was right around my race in September, but I fell off the wagon and lost my base cardio. I've noticed that my tempo speed (i.e. the speed I set for 40+ min which is like a "cruising zone") has sped up. I did a full mile in 8 minutes in the middle of one tempo run last week. This morning I did a 48 min run that varied between 9-9.5 min/mile with 1-2% incline. This is an improvement over the tempo at 10 min/mile in Sept. I'm not swift, but I'm resiliant and dogged. I'd like to get my tempo up to a solid 8.5-9 min mile (or faster?) for next season.
P.S. I love Lacis. But I wish they had a bigger selection of Eterna.
