Brick workout this morning. I felt 50% better out of the box this morning. Not sure why the pain was so bad yesterday or much better today. I do know that post ab workouts I feel much more pain. So maybe I'll have to let my 6 pack slide. 40.2 mile bike ride at 20.3 mph avg. Semi hard effort. Didn't relax much but didn't go into all out mode either. Out around SunRiver, Tonoquint, Green Valley then back basically the same way. Lots of hills throughout the entire ride. But nothing crazy long. 8.1 mile run after the ride. I tried a couple things. First a new pair of Hoka running shoes. Until now I've laughed at people wearing them and if I were not injured I still would. But the extra cushion seems to really help all my aches and pains. So although heavier, none racey, and super dorky looking- they may just help me get more TOFR (time on feet running). I also decided to totally forget about pace, speed and the like. Just be happy to be running. Still felt some aches and pains and it would have been better to cut the run shorter- like around 6.5 or so. But all things considered I really had a good day of training. Out the door on the bike at 8 a.m sharp back home after the run and in the shower at 11:02 a.m. Then hit up Cafe Rio for some big time calorie replacement.
