Failures require the time to be studied

Up early to beat the heat of the day. (which really never arived) I created a new loop that I call the Uly loop.  The name comes from a buddy that I have that lives basically at the half way point. I know, im super creative. ;)  Legs were feeling alot more recovered from saturday.  Saturday I was feeling the fatigue of not great food and hardly any running last week. Great run, only felt a bit of the long run ach around mile 10. 

I finally had to replace my bike tire! I cant complain much because i put probably 2K miles on them.  Once I got that all taken care of I took off from the house to where my new place of employment will be in september.  I took some time to figure a right way to get there so i will factor that in to how long it will take to bike to work. By the time i figured a good way to get there i had wasted probably 10 mins.  I arrived at my destination in about 1hr 14 mins, just shy of 20 miles out.  I stoped at a taco bell to refuel and grab some more water and headed on back.  The trip back was much harder due to the heat and a lot more climbing that i thought.  It took me 1hr 33 min to get back.  I was getting quite fatigued towards the end but feel confident that I could do this ride 2 mabye 3 times a week. 

Got out on easy six today but it didn't feel easy at all. I was struggling the whole time to keep even close to an 8min pace. Lots of fatigue from riding so far yesterday and overdoing it with lifting. My tendons are still not 100% I'm trying to be as careful as I can.

Did an exploratory loop around our new house we will be moving into later in September. I rode all around the neighborhoods and figured out some solid running loops. I hooked back on highway 50 back home and had a nice acceleration for about 3 miles home.

Longview lake extension today with 5 mile warm up and the rest at a solid 18 to 22 mph pace. Legs felt powerful and much better from Wednesday s run. My left medial side of my calve was hurting a bit after but nothing too alarming. I would post a prime but my watch died halfway through. :/
