Finally competed in my first 1/2 marathon. 1:47:17. Pretty pleased with that :)

Good time. I can't manage any better than that.

The other day I went to take my bike out for the first time in months, but obviously had to inflate the tires first. For the life of me I couldn't find the valve stem adapter (that I could have...

What distance is that J4MIE?

Good Lord BB, when do you find the time?! :eek: .

Lately my weekly average has been barely half that (190kms in the last 30 days :mark: ).

It's been unusually hot here lately. I went for a...

If I did that around here I wouldn't run until July :p: .

Thanks BB. I can't run a marathon, but I'll crush a 10k :D

My last run, a couple of days ago:

Impressive distances. What’s a comfortable pace for you BB? Also, with that kind of distance, how do you manage to stay injury free?

I registered only 145kms in February. I’m trying to get up...

Have you previously found yourself jogging by accident? :p:

Sounds like a general theme here :p:

I find that maintaining proper nutrition is harder than exercising.
I seem to do o.k. during weekdays when I avoid alcohol and eat more fruits and vegggies,...

Did a short ride after work yesterday evening along some single tracks I've never done before. A section was so narrow that my front wheel skidded off and I toppled resulting in an "owie" on my...

That’s a decent spec’d bike. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Don’t bother with a full sussy unless you plan on riding exclusively downhills.

I’d be curious to know how you feel about the 29”-er.

Rockshox is the most popular front fork, and they manufacture a wide range of products. I enjoy the one on my bike and the lockout feature is highly recommended.

$500 to $600 will get you a bare-bones “starter” MTB, but when shopping for a bike you certainly want to consider the amount and type of terrain you expect to be riding. It doesn’t make sense to...

Just make sure it's dry :dozey:

These are from the Kananaskis area on Saturday. Thankfully dry, with a beautiful day, but a trail full of gnarly tree roots and large stones made for a jarring ride. Quite the cardio workout. ...

Longer than I had hoped. Tried a couple of recent short runs when I thought I was feeling better only to exasperate the problem :s . I’ve been biking lately instead which, to be honest, I’m...

The half-marathon at the end of May for which I've been training may now be in jeopardy.
I sprained my right calf muscle and the physical therapist says 2 to 3 weeks recovery time :( Don't think...

15km. Quite pleased with that time, considering the course :)

Yeah,I picked one up cheap from kijiji a couple of years ago. A Thule, almost brand new. All it was missing was a bolt which cost me $15. Works great and holds up to 4 bikes, for those rare...

I certainly wouldn't know. I haven't touched by bike since October :p: .

Btw, no Mexican food here, but Mrs. Schmenke did bake cupcakes last night :D :mark:

About a month ago I bought a set of strap-on cleats for my running shoes for winter running. I have yet to use them :uhoh:

^ There you go J4MIE, no excuses! :p:

Are they that complex? I used to have one and I'm pretty sure I remember it coming pre-assembled.
