I'm off to a pretty good start. I didn't run to Dish yesterday so I didn't get in my long run. Had to settle for 4.05 miles, which is better than nothing or my too-frequent one-mile runs.
I've been riding about 30 miles most Sundays. I've been calling it base-building. Today I went with some of the Crossfit people on a 30 mile ride from Monrovia to San Dimas (near Bonelli Park) and back. This 30 mile route bore absolutely no resemblance to my usual 30 mile route. Hills, baby. It's all about the hills. While people who ride hills would not find this a terribly hilly route, I haven't been riding hills since summer 2010. With that very hilly course in Lake Tahoe awaiting me, I will be doing hills and lots of them.
The good thing about the ride is that I was able to do all the hills, just slowly. That's the first step - be able to do the hills at all. Second step - be able to do them faster. Third step - be able to do a course like today and say "what hills"?
I will go out for a two-mile run after it cools off a bit or at 7:30, whichever comes first.
