50? no, training

i got me a biking book and began reading up, and realized almost immediately that i'm doing it all wrong.

i don't need to push for 50 miles tomorrow, 40 last week was sufficiently hard, and my time on sundays would be better spent improving the quality of my miles over their quantity. for instance, riding up hills in a harder gear, and otherwise going faster.

not only that, i'm banging up my knee too much while running, i think, and my time during the week spent running could also be spent cycling. although i prefer running and it's much better for losing weight, i have a pretty large collection of hills to choose from around here, so i can make any ride as short and intense as i care.

i dunno why i can't find a pair of running shoes i like. i like running, i hate running shoes. sigh.
