Today I broke ranks with the Hal Higdon school of thought and spent the day cross training. I went out with Mead for a Mountain Bike ride on Difficult Run today. It was my first time on the bike in a while, and only my second ride since the Greenhorn Adventure Race in late April.
Every time I get back on the bike after a break from riding it takes me time to get the feel for it again, whether it's shifting on inclines or going over obstacles. Matt took me on some parts of the trail that were new to me, one spot which totally psyched me out, but I'll get there soon enough. It was a incredibly steep decline with a creek crossing and a barrier to hop.
I was feeling some knee pain during the ride when pedaling hard. Mead suggested I keep my heel down which not only helped eliminate the knee pains, but also seemed to provide more powerful strokes.

Jays watch:
Scotty Richmond tossed a good 7 innings today allowing 2 runs. The offense scored early and often getting a nice cushion for the rest of the game. Vernon Wells, whom deserves much scrutiny due to his excessive salary hit a solo bomb and a RBI double. I got to take this all in over a few good brews and some excellent chicken tacos with home grown jalepeños curtousy of Mr. Mead. It was a good day.
