Basketball this morning, planning on 8 to 10 miles tonight. Starting my 18 week STG cycle today. I plan to hit around 60 miles this week and then ramp it up from there. I've gained some weight over the last two weeks taking it easy, but overall feeling pretty good and ready for a good, busy next 4 months. Big Workout #1 (60 minutes total)- 8 miles total 4 miles @ "tinman" tempo pace which would be around 6:15 to 6:25 for me. Sunny dropped me off at Anderson Junction, then I did .5 mile out and .5 back on the dirt, then 1 more mile warm-up, then got into the tempo miles 1-6:15 Easy downhill 2-6:21 Fairly flat through Toquerville 3-6:21 Rolling and most difficult mile 4-5:57 flat, then steep downhill the last half Overall time was 24:59 (6:14 average, so right on pace) Easy 2.5 mile jog home. I was satisfied with this workout, didn't feel like I pushed it too hard, I wasn't feeling the best two glasses of cool-aid (sugar) aren't the best pre-workout drink.
