Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Long bike in boot trying to maintain 70-75% max HR. My total time was around 2:05:00, so I averaged 21.18 MPH?! This is a different exercise bike than what I had used last week. Today I used an upright bike, last week was one of those granny bikes. It could be the bikes are calibrated differently or it could be more efficient to bike in the upright position. The important thing is that I maintained the correct HR (74%) for the entire long ride! Avg HR: 136

I need to practice better fueling on the bike. 25 oz of sodium free water is terrible! Must bring more fluids and a little carbs/electrolytes.

All-in-all a tough and wonderful workout! The first long ride of a century ride schedule. I feel comfortable with this. I might as well train for a century in my boot even if I'm not sure I will get out of my boot in time to ride it (a friend is riding one June 15th).

Finished with 3x15 pushups, 1:30, 1:00 planks then called it a day.
