Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
20 mi My gold star Tuesday came about because I didn't want to wake up early again Wednesday morning. I came back from work and decided to do the Singer Island loop. I averaged 20.4, not bad considering traffic and completely stopping at some lights, which hardly ever happens on a 5am start. I brought … Continue reading TT to round it out
