Big boy's run here from my cul de sac. Looped Coyote once then did the B-hills loop, then one more lap around Coyote. Cooler this morning but super humid. The other guys were all dripping wet... shorts and all. I was sweaty but shorts were dry. Guess I'm different.
Took it EZ. This was my first run since the end of last week. Hip was tight but didn't scream pain like it was last week. I'll continue to take it EZ on the running side until after Lotoja.
20 min's after the run on the Cycleops trainer. I don't usually bike at all on Wednesdays after the run but wanted to try and loosen up the hip a little more. Plus I'm not sure what the weather is gonna do the rest of the week or when or where I'll get to actually ride. To start off the week I only needed like 225 biking miles to hit 1000 for the month. I know it's not a big deal but on a personal level I'd be a nice benchmark to cross. I was close last month (975) or so and didn't realize it.
With the running and biking volume combined this summer it has been a lot of work. I'm excited for things to be wrapping up and to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Since June 1st I've tried to be at least 200 miles of cycling and around 60 miles of running. Had a couple below and a couple above and basically met my avg goal. In Mid July I didn't think I'd make it day after day, week after week. But I'm basically at the taper for Lotoja and then only a few weeks after than will the the marathon. So I'll give myself a pat on the back and a sigh of relief. Still worried about the hip but I'm not going to stress anymore until after this biking thing is over.
