04-08-2025 Ride/Hike

Woke up a little after 5:00, after getting up in the night and eating a bowl of cereal to help settle down a coughing fit. I left early, about 6:30, for a bike ride. Took the extended time trial route, including the little jog up to Oak Knoll Rd. Wasn't super fast on this ride but tried to keep a steady pace. I could feel tiredness in my legs, cardio was not perfect but okay.

Didn't have a lot of time when I got home to get ready for my dental cleaning. Used electric razor to shave and then flossed and brushed my teeth before heading over to Carmel Mountain Dental Care on my scooter. Ann was still asleep when I left. The cleaning went fine, dentist looked at my mouth and at the x-rays and didn't see anything notable, which was good to hear. Was back home around 10:10. Had a light mid-morning and early afternoon, I rewaxed the chain on my Canyon bike because it seemed to be making a lot of noise on the morning ride. Also watched the last episode of the first season of Andor, in anticipation of Season 2 starting in a couple of weeks. Then I got ready to go hiking with Andy. I drove his house and picked him up around 2:30, then we drove to the Iron Mountain Trailhead parking area up at the top of Poway Rd. The hike up was a little slower for me than the one up Mt Woodson, so Andy and I stayed together the whole time. A little shorter and not as steep. We stopped at the top for a break and ate some food before turning around and heading back down. Weather was pretty cooperative, although it was a little warm at times in the direct sun. Not so much of a problem on the way down. Got home and ate dinner alone, watched a little TV later. Microwave oven is acting up again, ugh!
