Tuesday run, no fartleks

RUN: 6.6 miles in 54.5 mins for an 8:15m/m pace
BIKE: 14.5 miles in 50 mins for a recovery/stretch/energy burn

I keep saying "energy burn". What the heck does that mean? I guess it makes me feel all "Ironman" to do a double like that.

The weather was super warm this morning--low 50's! It was even better in the afternoon--maybe 65F?--but I didn't get to enjoy it much. Work sucks that way.

This run was supposed to be fartleks, but DC and JM and I didn't go there. So it became my 10Kish tempo run of the week.  It's become a habit on this run for my mind to say "sh!t this is hard I want to slow down" but I don't let myself. Today my mind popped up with those thoughts and had to disagree with itself. It was hard, but a good hard, and I loved it. 8:15's!! WOW.

The bike was indoors and boring. Good time to focus on form. My week is messed up a bit schedule-wise since I'm traveling out of town starting Thursday, but I have my workouts planned around it. Which means that I'm on the bike again tomorrow for a pyramid workout. I really hope to get to the swim!! I'd hate to miss fly day.
