Update re: yesterday's biking

Slept for a few hours after my run, got some food in (brown rice, can of tuna, fried egg), then hit the road at about 3:30 for a ride. Got about 35 miles in, heat index over 100 for most of it. About 2/3rds of the way into the ride, thunderstorm started rolling in. That upped the wind a bit, dropped the heat, which was a welcome relief. I'm pretty sore today, but am relatively ambulatory.

short update

just finished an absolutely brutal 14 mile marathon training run - heat index is mid-90s to low 100s, ended up averaging only 11:00 minute miles. Resting at home with my pups currently, planning to try to get a ride in this afternoon as well.

4th of July 5k

Didn't do as well as I'd hoped (hoping to set a new PR, dream finish was finishing in 20:30 , unofficial finish was 23:48). I ran the first mile in 6:38, which is a PR for me, and is quite cool. I've got a couple days off, then I start training for Chicago next week.

Woo hoo!

Running 4th of July 5k...managed to get bib #13!
