Sunday morning on the trails
I was feeling less than energetic Sunday morning but we headed for the trails anyway. This was the only picture I took the entire time, mostly because I was simply to exhausted to do anything but ride.
New kicks, made just for me
I used to think running was so simple - throw on a pair of shoes and head out the door. Then I started having problems, with my feet among other things. Turns out, the $75 Nikes weren't quite right for me. After about an hour at RoadRunner in Newbury Park, I had myself a pair of shoes that are amazing. Custom insoles not to mention two different sized shoes, to fit my two-different-size feet, which turned out to be a 12.5 and a 13.5. When they played back my foot motion in slo-mo, it was no wonder I had been having problems and generally not enjoying running at all.
The first real test will be tomorrow night when I get home from work (I already went biking today, so I'm being lazy for the afternoon) and Donna head out for a three-mile jog.

TAKING A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
My sister was so kind as to send me a photo of an old childhood friend - TJ (aka Thomas Jr). As you can see, he was kind of a rock-star Cocker Spaniel.
THE LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY
We only went four days without riding, but it felt like it had been months. It's amazing what a little laziness will do to you. We took a ride to the beach today via Sycamore Canyon and the 2.5 hour ride really took a toll on us. The biggest problem was probably the fact that we had lunch before riding, which is very out of the ordinary for us. I'm afraid this sort of routine is something we'll have to get used to, given the long hours we'll probably be putting in at the office.

Saw this while running an errand with Donna - I think it's called a 'magazine' rack

Whenever there's something to look at, we don't have the binoculars with us. Whenever we have the binoculars with us, there's not much to look at. No dolphin sightings today, unfortunately.
The break at the beach today felt great. I tried to talk Donna into riding back to the house, getting the car and driving back to pick me up. She didn't go for it.
