Duncans Mills and Scenic Loop

Claire and I went out on Monday for a nice casual loop.  We took it pretty easy and enjoyed the beautiful weather.  It got a little windy as we headed out to Duncan's Mills.  We stopped for a couple of Americanos and a pastry at the coffee shop in Duncan's Mills.  We sat out on the patio where we ran in to Steve from West County Bike Shop in Sebastopol.  We chatted a bit about life and the bike business before we headed on our way up towards Occidental.  

After getting home, I quickly changed clothes and headed out on a run.  I did the Scenic loop, with an extra Canyon loop added in.  I set the world's second fastest time of 49:50.  Only the second time in history that the 50 minute barrier has been broken.  I felt great.  I had a high heart rate of 193 and averaged 174 beats per minute for the entire run.  Except for some pain from a tendon in my left calf, I felt really good.  

It was back to work on Tuesday, where it was as busy as usual.  A person's job can really get in the way of there training.
