Halftime Report & June Numbers

The love affair with my MTB, that I was experiencing just a year ago, is quickly slowing down. My first trail ride was on 06/16/2013 and, by this time last year, I had racked up 129.63 miles.  This year, between those same dates?  Try a whopping ZERO miles!  Tire issues, rim issues, squeaking bearings, and a busted front brake have all limited my MTB riding.  While these issues aren’t that big of a deal, my ability to make it to the shop, and/or the time it takes to fix the issues are few and far between.  Not to mention, I’m not much of a wrench when it comes to bike maintenance.  At any rate, at least I still have my relatively low maintenance tri bike that is filling my riding needs nicely.

I’m still running, but not as much.  I was running between 3-4 time per week this spring, but have brought that down to 1 time per week.  That one day, however, has been between 7-8 miles.

As for swimming, well, another month has gone by with absolutely no time in the pool.  That makes it 5 full months with no yardage and just 6700 YEAR TO DATE!  The good news is that the family just rejoined the YMCA by our house.  While I still have my issues with this facility, we quickly realized that it is absolutely the only source of convenient water around our house.  Hopefully I’ll see my swimming numbers increase here shortly.
