There's no doubt that I was the only one in Sunday's yoga class that had run and biked the scenic loop the previous day, but that was my triathlon at Red Rock this weekend. On Saturday, I locked my bike at the fee station and drove down to the end of the scenic loop. There I began my 15-mile journey. Running the 13-mile loop did not seem that difficult, I'm in shape and fit for a marathon and I knew I would have the luxury of riding my bike the last 2 miles. It was a beautiful sunny warm day, about 60 degrees. The only negative factor was the traffic. I've never seen so many cars and motorcycles racing around the loop and the parking lots were all overflowing. But I got the run in with no ill effects and declared myself ready for the marathon 4 weeks from today.
The yoga Sunday was much easier. We car pooled to Sandstone Quarry (see photo) hiked toward Turtlehead Peak where we found a secluded area to practice. It was very peaceful, relaxing and enlightening.
Now if I can just get my hot water heater replaced.

Sounds like you had the mother of all workouts.Using the bike is a good idea as it gives you the cardio without the joint injuries.Wish I could have done the bike part with you.Level off with your training then come down last two weeks.Watched NYC marathon yesterday,37K runners.The year I ran it there were 12K.Traffic at Red Rock not quite so bad.
