Total Distance
1.44

I went to bed fairly early last night.  I fell asleep with Emily watching Trolls.  Around 3:30am I realized the little cement mixer was no longer with us.  I got up to check her room and found her in the middle of the hallway with a blanket.  So I put her back in her own bed and couldn't get back to sleep.  I was planning on going on a bike ride with my BIL, Curtis at 6am.  We went 9.6 miles.  The first half was slightly downhill so we were really cruising.  The way back was slightly uphill and we slowed down quite a bit.  Because we did so few miles, I decided to get a little run in.  However, my legs tightened up and I questioned whether or not I should actually go.  I decided to be a tough guy and do it.  I felt so slow.  But in reality, I don't think I was that much slower than my normal pace as of late.  It just felt slow because my legs were tired.  Going to the Foreigner/Cheap Trick concert tonight.  I'll probably fall asleep.

After getting off a bike running always feels slow. I have noticed that with my triathlons. I always run the first mile off the bike way faster than I think I am running. I think it is because of the perception of speed compared to how fast you were moving on the bike. Anyways good job doing a BRick. That's what the tri world calls a bike then run workout.

I am familiar with the terminology and meant to use it, but I forgot. I guess you could say I bricked it.

Ok, that's not a real thing. I made it up. I guess you could say I bricked that, too.
