Bricks

Every Tuesday night, Adrian conducts a brick with his Cloud 9 Endurance group. I have said before that with this new group, I am slow-man, low-man as everyone has done marathons or ironmans or has actually done a few of them. Me... Not so much!

So, every Tuesday, or as many as I can attend, I try to make it to Adrian's Bricks. Despite being the last person, it pushes me to do better and this particular week, I did pretty good!

We did 3 loops north of Sunset by the college. They were pretty decent climbs, I would say similar to the Amalfi Switchbacks. We had to handle 3 loops if we could in 20min... and I did it and surprisingly I wasn't the last person.. YAY! (2nd to last... but I'll take it!) ...

it was fun. I am getting better and that is all i can hope for.

2nd Time up.

BAMFs

Oh.. and I totally forgot to mention that Adrian also does Trail runs on Tuesday am... this is not really my cup of tea, but i went for it. HOLY CRAP!!! We met at the top of Mandeville and hike the mountains around there. it was Freaking HARD.. and we all know that I am the worst runner, on top of bad knees and no hiking... I was an embarrassment to this group LOL. Such a struggle... but I did it... cursing under my breath, LOL and with a smile... but I did it! - Total of 10mi run this day.. 7mi on the trail and 3mi on the brick.. it was a GOOD DAY!
