monday -- 16 mile bike ride. i meant to do 20. but it was super windy and i wussed out. (and happy bday to gerlinda!)

tuesday -- the usual 5 mile run. nice and cool. 50 minutes.

wednesday -- i started out doing backyard bootcamp, but then i was like, hey, it's my birthday, i'm over this, so i quit after 30 minutes. but i did get a 4.5-mile hike up beehive basin to make up for it. that might be my all-time favorite hike -- it's got every kind of terrain and the views are amazing, and it's a good workout but not too killer.

today -- hmm, i seem to have a hard time w/ thursdays. i swear i tried to get up. so i've got a gym bag packed and i'll either knock out 5 on the treadmill or the road, depending on the weather.

so .... i was reading through some old running stuff, and it basically says that you should go down in distance everything third week in order to kick up the next week. i think gerlinda and i have basically been progressing steadily up and ignoring the down weeks, despite the fact that they show up on our schedule. so maybe this week i'll go back down to 8 and then jump up to 10 the following week and 13 after that. or something like that ....
