Today’s training plan called for either a 2 mile run or cross training.  Since I am entering some cyclocross races in the upcoming weeks, it is crucial that I still ride the bike, so that is what I did.  A group of 4 got together and decided to shuttle the Red Tail Trail.  I have always had an issue with driving my jeep to the top of a hill just to “coast” down it, but then again, I’m certainly more of a cross country rider and not much of a downhiller.  Sure, I like to go downhill as much as the next person, but I enjoy a more “pedally” ride.  I will still do it from time to time, but isn’t my favorite trail in the area.  It took about 1.5 hours to do a normal 40 minute run as we had a new rider with us, not that I am complaining about it as we were once all beginners.  However, I did get a ride in that made me do a little work and I think that is the point of the cross training…
