It was supposed to rain and be cold this morning, and I'd resolved to go back to bed if this were true when the alarm went off. It was, I did, and I didn't look back. Totally the right call.
My plan was to wait until midday, because the rain was supposed to stop. Around 1 o'clock Roy started the group text, looking for anyone running. His timing was perfect, so we set the run for 2 o'clock. 10 miles! This was exactly what I needed for the week.
Of course it felt awful at the start - who am I kidding, it felt bad pretty much the whole time. After two days of riding long, I am totally wiped. We weren't fast, but we did get it done under 8:30 pace. That left only one thing left to do - lift!
This is where I really felt it. My eating had been light today, and after the run I was completely tapped. Normally I do a circuit type of workout, but there was no way to hold my normal pace. I could feel my heart rate beginning to rise too quickly, so I was forced to back off the pace quite a bit. Thankfully the core part went very well.
The week is done!
Now I will try to tack on an extra ride tomorrow. Distance? 20-50 miles. I want at least 20 to make 200 miles for the week, but will be willing to go to 50. Early afternoon start? Roy wants 2 o'clock, if anyone is interested.
