Irvine Week 5

Thus has begun a new month in Irvine... Wowza!

Tuesday: rest from running, but bike ~13 miles (to Herbalife and back). Signed up to be a coach and started the program this afternoon. A little hungry @ night time.
Wednesday: 4.5 miles (oh... I'd thought it was 5. Gaaah!). Day 2 of being on Herbalife (as my job requires), and didn't eat quite enough. Biked 15 miles (to Hunter and back, with breaks in between for tutoring and the smoothie party). Ravenous all day.
Thursday: rest.
Friday: Meant to do 7 miles, but ended up doing 8.4. 0.2 mile cooldown. Was hoping to do a certain set of paths near the Bonita Canyon sports park, but ended up running on a different path instead and figured it'd be shorter than the intended route, but it wasn't actually. Not just tired, but exhausted during and after the first mile, but really glad that I did it!
Saturday: rest.
Sunday: Discovered the most wonderful trails down Sandy Canyon. First 2 miles are pavement, but after that there is a dirt trail side-by-side with a bike trail. It passes by some nice areas, both naturally and neighborhood-wise, and 5 miles into the run I found Quail Trail (or some name along those lines), and got lost off-trail trying to figure out how it connected with Uni. I was so upset! At least 10 minutes bumbling around worrying about stepping in Quail (or rattlesnake) burrows, and destroying wildlife preserves : ( : ( : (. 2 miles on that quail loop, not including walking/hiking offtrail, and then ran 3 miles back to where the dirt trail ended, and finished by walking the last 2 miles on pavement. Total: 10 mile run, 2 mile walk to cooldown.
Monday: rest (bike 15 miles round trip to tutor)
Weekly total: 43 miles bike, 23 miles in 3 runs.
