Wasting time at work looking for running routes

Wednesday BIKE 18? miles in 60 mins, indoors
     COMMUTE 7 miles
Thursday RUN 2.7 miles out of 4, as 3 min (1 min) at 4.5mph
     STRENGTH 20 mins up all upper
     COMMUTE 7 miles

I'm feeling good about running again - I'm searching for local races and looking for routes around the house. I'm happy to find a few nature trail type things, not as happy to know they are *only* half a mile from the house. 

Today's treadmill run felt better than Tuesday's, the same interval pattern. My HR didn't drift up in the late intervals, it stayed steady at 133-136. The spm was great in the low 170s. So running at 4.5 mph is great for now, as much as I'd like to speed up, that's not the goal yet. 

I found an April marathon in Toledo, it's penciled in to the calendar. I found a trail race but it might be on the same weekend, and the course is "tough", meaning maybe not favorable to a new ankle. Things might change my then, and the new ankle is just my ankle. 

I modified my upper body strength time to 30 minutes, then skipped a few of the exercises. So it was maybe a 25 minute session? With 20 mins of actual work. Give or take. My arms were weak afterwards! Yes!

LA biked to work to day, and I might get to bike home with him!! I'm looking forward to it, even if we don't get to ride together, I at least got to look forward to the possibility all day :)
