Slow hangover two-miler

After an evening of too much wine watching Star Wars shows yesterday, I wasn't feeling like a run today. But with temps in the mid 60s, I thought I should get outside for a ride or run. Didn't feel I could balance on a bike, so I managed a very slow two mile jog. A little run is a good hangover cure.

Interval repeats

With good weather and feeling about ready, I ran some interval repeats yesterday. Not too long or too fast, but felt good to get some speed work in again. It's been too long. I jogged a loop around my neighborhood park, then followed with a tempo run lap. Did four of these. I forgot to take a pic so here's a Porsche Design EC Running promo image I haven't posted before.

50° 5k

After days of cold, rain and wind, today was 50°, sun and little wind. Perfect day for an outside jog with shorts and a light windbreaker. Nothing fast, but felt good to get outside again and off the stationary bike in the living room. My Adidas running app now shows 145.79 miles with the Porsche Design EC Running shoes.

Happy Holidays!

 

Post T-Day 5K

Under cool and cloudy skies, I went for a post Thanksgiving 5K to burn some more calories. 

Thursday Thanksgiving 5K

Planning on eating and drinking a lot today, I jogged a 5K around noon. I overdressed as the 60 degrees, no wind and sun made it quite warm. I should have selected running shorts and a tank top. Live and learn, I guess. It did feel good to get outside and feel the sun though. I'll try to get back out over the next three days if the weather holds. I'm hoping to be able to switch from the PD EC Running to the Endurance Boost shoes shortly, although the calorie count today won't help.

Winter prep

With winter coming, it was time to change to the winter tires and rims on the 2006 Cayenne S and thoroughly clean and store the 2004 Bike X and 1998 Bike S. While having a Dunkel of course.

Winter is coming 5K

With temps in the low 50s, I went for early afternoon 5k jog. Low wind and sun made it comfortable to wear shorts and a light jacket. Fun and easy run in the PD EC Running shoes.
 

I found another Porsche Bike X for sale on the German eBay website. This Bike X is a small or medium frame size, unlike my large size. The asking price is approximately US $2,186.42. Looks like my Bike X may be increasing in value. I read on another Bike X listing that only 250 of these bikes were produced by Storck for Porsche in the early 2000s. These might only increase in value. Although I'm beating mine up pretty good with the long distance endurance riding I'm doing. So, mine probably won't be worth as much.

Here's the listing while it's active. The product description is incorrect though. But it is Porsche Bike X.

Dunkel season

Winter for me is Dunkel season. The dark German bier seems to fit the colder temperatures and cloudy days well. After a bike ride, a couple Dunkels and hanging out in the garage was just right. Prost!

Christmas colors? Too early?

13-mile ride today trying to maximize the remaining ridable days left in 2020. 1998 Porsche Bike S still performing well after the C&O 190-mile pounding.
