"Hit The Dirt and Head For The Hills!"

* Mountain Biking *

....it's good for running!

 

 

......it gets you off your feet, it gives your joints

the rest they need between training runs and it is an

excellent way to increase both

cardiovascular and over-all leg muscle strength.

Taking 9 months off from running, like I've done, 

isn't the smartest thing to do....but having 

mountain biked fairly consistently over those months, 

falling back into place shouldn't be too difficult.

Yesterday's workout was a ride twice around

a fireroad and single track loop totaling

15 miles.....hot and dusty with no greenery on
any of the bushes....a lack of rain has turned
everything brown and brittle.....the skies
were crystal blue with just enough high cloud
coverage to make a 90+ degree day pleasant.

....decent mileage, a good ride

and just a really beautiful day!
