If I had ridden in the afternoon, it would have rained

RUN: 6.4 miles in 57 mins, 8:54m/m
BIKE: 23.5 miles in 1:25

I slept in--again!! I don't even remember my alarm going off. Usually I can at least recall waking up briefly. So I missed the group at the Thursday run. And just when I thought I'd be on my own, AC texts! We had a great run, I haven't seen her in weeks. She has such a great pace, hope she can join the earlier Thurs group or some of the trail runs. She's been training with the slugs, something I've been wanting to do. So I'm inspired to look into that more.

The bike was supposed to be my speed work of the week on the bike, but that's so hard to do in town. The plan called for 3x10K at 80+% but where can I find a 10K stretch of road except in the country. I could have driven somewhere, but since I slept in that was a no-go. So I rode out on Clayton/Conway hitting the hills hard and pushing a bigger gear than I would have normally selected.

The run and ride felt great, getting tired but nothing unexpected. And sitting here a few hours later, my right leg hurts--it's a quiet ache on the lateral thigh just under the hip. HTFU hip.

No rain now for weeks but it looks like it could rain tonight. I did the ride in the morning out of worry that it would rain in the afternoon and mess up my plans. The temps were cooler today, so an afternoon ride would have been better than the past few days and weeks. But no, it's over and done. I get to go home and rest!

I've been reviewing my schedule in my head, and wondering if Friday or Monday is my better day off? Monday has Master's swim, but I so dang tired on Monday! What if I took Monday off and turned the Tuesday recovery ride into a swim? Should I swim after a track workout?! I'm already sloppy, why add fatigue to it?
