(Long and Less Long) Runs - 2/5 to 2/11

[emily_in_nc]

Now I just have to ride 3.5 hours tomorrow. It's supposed to be miserable, so I guess I'll be watching Lord of the Rings on the trainer.

The word "just" should never be used in the same breath with the words "3.5 hours" and "trainer".

Congratulations on your long run - sounds miserable. What doesn't kill us, and all that. I hate being cold when I'm working out, though.

eek, eek, Wahine... why did you not have a bath?
I should have too. I applied some "warming" lotion to my thighs which turned out to have a cooling effect... *shudder*

my hips are fine again and legs are better after 2 hrs recovery spinning :-P

OK never made it out of the house on Sunday so no pictures from the trail. Totals for the week= 10 miles give or take a few quarters of a mile.

I did a miserable, hard brick on Saturday after a tough two hour ride. It will bring my total for the week up to about 9.5.

I should have had a bath but the apartment we're in has a tiny hot water tank so it's next to impossible to get enough hot wter in the tub to cover you to any significant degree!! I have rectified this problem in the house we are building. Huge soaker tub with large mass solar heated water gizmo. Not super enviro, because of the water volume but apart from the set up cost, it's cheap - no money spent towards gas or electricity! We're also trying to find a way to legally set up a grey water cistern to reuse the water from the tub.

The warming/cooling lotion sounded like a lovely experience.

I have that problem too. I've got a big soaker tub but a little tiny water heater. It fills maybe 1/3 of the way before turning ice cold.

I solved the problem by making The Boy get baths with me at all times.

It's cheaper than a new water heater, and more fun!!

My new tub is a two man Japanese style soaker....
