Switching Gears

After work on Monday night, my husband and I went for a bike ride. I had some new tires put on and a tune-up and boy, what a smooth ride. My bike and I go back a long way — sophomore year, college. I love that heavy ol' bike. And it was good to change up the workout.

Yesterday, I did a progression run and truly felt progress. Mentally, I had to push and focus on maintaining the pace, although it wasn't a laborious struggle. I'm uncertain how I will do in the half on Labor Day — it took me a while to get warmed up and get moving, but I felt stronger than I have in a while. Thumbs up.

Splits from last night:

A good run and positive thoughts.

Hills tonight.
