What I've been doing

I took another week off from running to drive my car across the country to Seattle. I visited Portland too. In nine days on the road, I covered 6,200 miles.

I'm back to running now, trying to maintain my fitness. I don't have any plans to run a race, but I'd like to make some. Can I get anyone who still reads this blog to commit to a race this summer/this coming fall?

I did a yoga class for the first time about three weeks ago. I might do it again tonight. It's only $5/class. The class is held at a local bike shop. Every Wednesday, after the shop has closed, bikes, displays, etc. are moved to the perimeter of the shop to make room for about 15 of us. The class is 60 minutes and challenging. It's not simply the holding of various positions. There's a lot of positions, they're held for about 10 to 15 seconds, and then you "flow" to the next one. It's very challenging if you don't have the strenghth in your legs and core. You think you're in shape? Try it.

My target race for this fall is the Hogsback Half Marathon. It is a beautiful course (up and down the Farmington river along American Legion and Peoples SF's). It is at the end of September so we could get potentially have nice weather. I'm going to try to set my PR.
