20' Tempo

Back to workouts. I knew pace would be humbling, so I tried not to worry about it. I managed just below 3 miles. 6 weeks ago, I was running the same pace with less effort for 18 miles. Today's goal was just to get through the 20' at the right effort, which should be the goal for most workouts.

Did the workout today rather than tomorrow as we might have thunderstorms in the morning and higher winds. Today has been absolutely beautiful. Sunny, around 70, and dry. My favorite spring weather.

PM: 4.7 miles, averaged 10:10. HR 141.

Felt a little rough an anxious and couldn't relax and enjoy the run. HR was elevated.

Second Thursday Night Dirt ride of the year tonight. Need it.

PM: 37.2 mile ride. HR 142.

Good ride. Started out slow, got moving, then hung back fro some stragglers, one guy was nnew and didn't want him to feel like people were leaving him hanging and not wanting to come out again. It was much cooler than forcasted/expected, but very comfortable. Gravel was nicely packed in places, but very loose rocks on the top and VERY dusty. The few cars we encountered were driving insanely fast and recklessly. Usually you get one or so every few rides, but people were nuts tonight. Enjoyed the ride. Hope rides will start to be more consistent. Still tough with the rain as people won't ride in the rain generally.
