I try to run a couple of times a week. Problem with that is that my legs are not as strong as I would like. Guess that means I just have to train harder and it will come.
My son and I did the 70 mile Richmond ride again yesterday and it was brutal. When we made the turn in Richmond we were going into 15-20 mph head winds. It was a real struggle for 35 solid mile. I just kept telling myself that it was making me stronger.
