Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. Now I'm focused on the Maryland and California Coast & Coast adventure!

First run
This morning was a first on several levels.
Since I have been in cycling mode, I haven't run in a while. Today is my start to getting in a lot of base miles to rebuild the lower leg muscles and bones for faster running ahead. I walked a mile warming up then did 7 miles of 90 second jogging and 30 second walking, followed by a one mile cool down.
Today's outing was also the first miles on the Porsche Design Endurance Boost running shoes. They felt awesome! Light and comfortable, even for a guy that hasn't run in a while. I'll post more on them later.
And lastly, today was my first run with the new Adidas owned Runtastic iPhone app. Adidas is shutting down the app I was using prior. Adidas bought out Runtastic and I ended up with free lifetime premium membership as a result. So I'll be tracking all my training miles with this app.
