1.25 h speed bike. 30 min wu in zone 2, then true (as in I didn't start the interval time until I reached target HR) 6x2 min in zone 4-5a (81-93% max HR) with 4 min recovery (zone 3), then 12 min cd which ended up being zone 3. This was the first ride on my new bike trainer!! I already broke my computer thingy that tells you speed on my first ride so I have no idea how far I went. That's okay, I didn't trust that thing anyway. I'll just stick to HR/time training. That's more important anyway. AND, my first ride with no boot!!! I used the clip in shoes which keep your feet immobilized anyway. :) Today is my 3 week checkup for my "stress fracture"! I've decided I probably was having more of a stress reaction than stress fracture, which my PT suggested. I looked it up, they will both show up on a bone scan. Now let's see if my dr agrees! Stay tuned... Big sigh. What a heavy heart I have right now. Ortho convinced me to pull out of Ragnar in June. It just seems stupid to invest so much time in healing my foot to run few, slow miles and potentially set back my recovery. I want to get back into marathon training, so I think the smartest thing for me is to bite the bullet and be conservative. This is such a tough decision for me. I was looking forward to this since last June. Things could be worse and by September I'm hoping my body will reward me for this investment. Time to dry my eyes and focus on biking.
