07-01-2025 Run/Ride/Walk

Woke up quite early, was able to get back to sleep briefly before getting up and heading out for a run a little before 6:00. Down to the park and the longer loop around three times before heading back. Each mile was successively faster, but the last little distance up the hill to home was slower and hard.

Avg pace = 7:26/mi
Total distance = 4.36 mi
Elapsed moving time = 42:25
Avg heartrate = 135 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 18

Got home and had some toast, yogurt, and coffee for breakfast before going into the back yard and putting up the solar cloth over the original garden bed. That went quickly and smoothly. I relaxed for a bit before getting ready for a ride with Joe. Also stored the spare bathroom tiles in an empty plastic bin to clean up some clutter by the tool area, Ride over via the pedestrian bridge to the Via Rancho Park n Ride, where I waited for a little bit before he showed up. We rode on Beethoven Dr to BVP and then up to San Pasqual Valley Rd, turning left there and riding through neighborhood streets to get to El Norte Pkwy. I was riding at a slower pace keeping close to Zone 2. Headed west on El Norte Pkwy down toward the freeway, Joe had a blowout just past Ash St, and it took a while to repair it. We couldn't see the damage to the rear tire, but it was there. We found that out after continuing, when he had a second flat past Bennett. That was time to call Cathie and have him get picked up. I decided to meet him back at his car. Took Bennett Ave to Rock Springs Rd and then over to Nordahl Rd to get to Auto Park Way. Then it was down to Valley Pkwy, turning right there and riding up to 11th Ave, where I turned left. Up that little climb and then the nice descent along the freeway to get to Bernardo Ave. Into that neighborhood, where I made a miscalculated turn and had to backtrack before inding Hamilton Ln and getting over to Felicita Rd. Back to the starting point the normal way from there, where Joe had only been waiting a couple of minutes. We ended up eating at Chito's Taco Shop, a forgettable establishment, but the conversation was good, involving some politics and tying back to a book we both recently read. Home after the lunch and talk, and it was toasty on the ride back.

Avg speed = 14.3 mph. Total mileage = 27.0 mi
Avg power = 105 W. Weighted avg power = 135 W
Total elevation gain = 1560'
Avg heartrate = 107 bpm (Coospo)
Relative Effort = 23
Training Load = 85
Intensity = 61%

I cleaned the kitchen and had a chill rest of the afternoon. Went for a short walk after dinner to finish getting my steps in, then the rest of the evening was quiet (<>).
