Sat - 1/29 - run 5.4 miles, bike 21.5 miles

I ran Lee Hwy route today which has got two significant hills. I've never done this route for time and have never had a good time on it. Today I left the house with the goal to run strong and hopefully have the best time I've done. I felt good most of the way, although I felt fat for much of the way as well, and there was a head wind on one long stretch but I ended up running about 26 seconds per mile faster than I have ever run it. I also clocked a 6.31 last mile which was pretty comfortable except for the last tenth or so. 43:33 for a pace of 8.04. The BP hill was 3.48. Very solid run leading into my long run tomorrow and my speedwork block which starts this week.

Biked 21.5 miles on the cycops. 20.7 mph, 84 cad, 151 power, 135 HR. Easy ride. Just didn't have the mental capacity to push it. Used my new Adamo saddle. I'm not sure it is any more comfortable than the old one. I don't suppose it is any less, tho.
