Summary of the week - a bike and a 3 mile interval run!

Saturday BIKE 9.64 miles in about 52 mins, TGP
Sunday RUN 3 miles/4.5 in 50 mins, Grant's Trail


My goal has been to settle into a pattern of working out that I can hold to. I think a Monday, Thursday, Weekend will be good for now. This week was a day off due to travel to GA with LA.

The Tuesday run was with LA around the downtown area, two loops. It's fun to run with him, and anyway isn't that how this whole thing started?

The Thursday run was an afternoon run in Fo Pa from work. The morning just didn't happen for us, and his knee has been hurting. As much as I want to run with him, is it a good idea for him?

Funny side bit -- after the Thursday run my garmin said NEW RECORD!! FASTEST MILE 11:10
Uuuhh, OK.....

My Bring Sally Up challenge continues, and it's improving! I did about 25/30 burpees this week, added bicep curl to the over head press.

I feel weak. Sluggish. Heavy. I'm trying to find a way to get 60 mins of activity a day to build up the body and re-acclimate to working out. Still no swimming, haha.

I'd like to get in a bike ride and trail run this weekend, I'll leave that open for updates:

UPDATES!! WOOHOO a bike ride! Afternoon ride in TGP with LA. Rode to the band pavilion then did a casual 5 mile ride. That took about 22-23 mins, far from the usual BE and I ride but that wasn't the goal today. And besides, it's a nice baseline to build up from, haha.

Sunday a run with LA on GT, his first time there. Was his first time in TGP for the ride too, he has much to see around here yet. All my haunts -- the trails and paths and sights -- I miss them!

Anyway, this run was my first foray into 3 min run intervals. Goal was steady, good form, no rush, and be willing to stop if things start to fall apart. I found that this 3 mins is my current upper limit -- no more increases until this feels easier. The three minutes didn't feel long, but I could feel the muscular fatigue. Wow, this is my long run for now! And it put me super close to my next goal of running the 5K distance. I'm still aways from running that straight through, but that's my goal.
