BIKE 20 miles in 88 mins, 2x TGP then a 5K+
COMMUTE 9.2 miles
I woke up at the usual 4:45am time and almost went out the door early to meet BE at 6am. Then I realized I didn't need to be there until 6:30! To make the best of it, I got my Card Deck workout done before the ride. Like I said yesterday, I'd have to wake up earlier to fit it into my schedule.
It was dark at the start, and that beautiful new moon like a perfect crescent looked down at the eastern horizon. Yesterday Venus was below the moon; today it was above it. We did only two intervals, by the end of the second one we had full sunlight, and it was a pretty morning!
BE asked last week if we could do a 5K mej of the TGP for his upcoming virtual 5K, so that replaced our third interval. This left me 1.5 miles short of my 20 mile goal so of course I did loops around the 'hood until I hit distance goal. Part of me was saying -- it's a rest week so what if the ride is 1.5 miles short. The rest of me was saying -- STFU a goal is a goal. [So why so much trouble with the M goal????}
I'm trying to sign up for the pool Thursday and Friday but the signup system is full of go-hards like me who have a finger hovering over the buttons. It is full within *seconds*. So I'm signed up for 3pm Thursday and 9am Friday, with wait-lists everywhere in the hopes that I can be around the computer to get at least one of them. 3pm on a Thursday, ugh. The 9am on Friday is barely OK, I don't know yet if I'm going to AA or not this weekend, but that leaves me enough time.
