Life Changes

It's finally cooling down a bit here. We were out for a 12-mile short run yesterday morning. It's hard to get up early on weekdays, and our weekends are sometimes filled with family activities and the like, so it has been hard to get out on Saturdays as well.

We have been pre-occupied with family of late as well. We have two more grand children on the way. That's good news. And one of our older sons is getting a divorce. That's not so good news. But life goes on.

We plan on getting out this coming Saturday for a longer ride (hopefully it will be over 30 miles). We both need to get in a little better shape after the summer drought of bike riding (due to the heat) before the Tour de Tucson at the end of next month. Even though we will only be doing the 35-mile portion of the 109 miles, there will be more ups and downs along the route than we have on our current routes, so we figure that if we can get up to 50 miles on the almost flat, we should be able to handle the "gentle" ups and downs of the 35-mile ride in Tucson.
