Tuesday brick

BIKE: 25 miles in 1:27
RUN: 7 miles in 1:06

Usually the Tuesday workout is broken up into bike/morning and run/afternoon. But today the clouds parted and everything went in my favor.

I woke up later than usual, 5:30-ish. Since I didn't have a 2-3hr bike ride I could sleep instead, which by the way felt pretty good. Breakfast with the hubby, walk the dog, and head out.

The buoyant feeling from last night was still there. It's as if the fog lifted from my head and a switch flipped to ON. The groggy fatigue was replaced with that hungry go-get-'em attitude that I've been used to. Now instead of slogging up hills I attacked them. Finally, I was able to get in a ride where it was balls to the wall riding, and although that's not entirely safe riding in-town, I couldn't resist. :) In fact, I passed my predetermined turn-around point by 5 minutes, so that I'd really have to cook it on the way home to get ready for a 9:15 meeting. Aint nothing like moving at 26 mph in town on a bike, what a rush!

I got back to lab where I learned that there was no meeting today. Nuts. I could have kept biking! So why stop? Go for a run!

So I did one loop around FP. The first 2 miles were rough, poor form, no energy, sloppy. I imagined that this was my first few miles off the bike at IMWI--tired, worn out, but must keep going. Right around the 2.5 mile mark I perked up and get a few fast lengths in as well as a fast finish. Oh damn, it feels good to be back!
