Nicely done! Keep at it. Guess you'll be riding and running more eh? ;-)
Last week's goals: back at running, goal mileage of 60k. => only ran 40k, mostly due to missing the long Sat run, but did ride a lot more.
M: 40' with strides (pm) => DONE
T: 40' ez (am)/55' with strides (pm); ride to & from work => DONE
W: 50' with hill strides (pm) => DONE
R: 40' ez (am)/ 45' ez (pm); ride to & from work => only one run (lunch run), small d-done
F: optional day => rode to & from on Fri instead
St: 1h30 steady => only managed 30min with kid & dog, but it was FUN! ;-)
Sn: MTB 3h+/- with 1hr run off bike. Work on riding the very technical trails in cleats. ;-) => Ride yes, run no.
Overall the week was busy at work, and I ran less than I had planned, but every run I did felt very good and I really tried to focus on quality not quantity. The 3.5hr mtb ride was my first mtb ride in cleats. I have some nice bruises, but am pretty happy with how I managed. I did pick trails that were pretty technical, so in some respects, it's amazing I didn't really hurt myself haha. The best part is that the shoulder I wrecked in my crash 8 weeks ago felt fine.
This week:
M: watch the Canucks tonight and get all stressed about it - either it's a party night or it's cry in your beer night
T: ride to & from work; optional lunch run
W: ride to & from work; watch the Canucks tonight and get all stressed about it - either it's a party night or it's cry in your beer night
R: Run 1h ez with dog (am); go to my youngest brother's convocation ceremony ;-)
F: Run 45 with hill strides (pm); ride to & from work
St: Optional day - travel to Victoria - so run or maybe even a swim! Gasp!
Sn: Sherpa for P at Victoria 1/2; go for a run while he's riding (~1-2hr)
EDIT: My Left quad feels like crap - nice big bruise from MTB ride - so a bunch of runs removed. :-( I'll call this a "recovery" week.
