Wed - 1/19 - run 6.0 miles, bike 15.0 miles

Ran 4 miles on Y track easy then 2 on the treadmill. Did a couple of hills. Easy run, relaxed run. I don't necessarily feel faster, and at times I actually feel slower than I was back in October (which scares me more than a bit), but 5-6 mile runs are almost beginning to feel like short runs now.

Bike 15 miles on the cycops. I wore my HR monitor. MAF training says I should do as much as possible in the 145-155 range. I know I ride with a lower HR than that. I just am a wimp. Anything in the 150 range is done in short bursts then back down to easy riding. This ended up being my best ride since last summer. 22.1 mph @ 150 power and 90 cadence. Power still a bit low but decently happy with the mph and cadence. Gotta get stronger. Oh, and my average HR was still just 138. Did I mention I was a wimp?
