Of Mice and Marathons

Lunch: 4.5 miles, averaged 13:40. HR 133.

Wanted to get in about 4 hours of riding but the roads were a mess (at least I thought they would be). It was quite humid and the bugs on Greenshield were awful and the road was mucky from the grading and spraying a few days ago. Had to walk a little to keep HR down. Once I could no longer keep it under 139, I walked about a mile home.

PM: weights.

AM: 2.5 miles on the treadmill (31'), averaged 12:31. HR 128.

Treadmill shut off. Hoping the service place calls soon before I set it on fire. Did some drills, which I haven't done in years. Well, other than the basic three I used to do for hill blast last year. The boys were in their Johnny Jump Ups, so I encouraged them every few minutes.

PM: 4.1 miles (50'), averaged 12:16. HR 133.

Ran on the track to contol the effort. The track is down the road of our subdivision and through a short field to the middle school (which will be the boys' middle school). 

Happy Anniversary to Megan, who somehow after 7 years still puts up with me!

PM: 75'. 6.1 miles, averaged 12:19. HR ~134

Cool, windy, and some light rain. HRM was acting up a bit.

AM: 5 miles (60'), averaged 12:05. HR 134.

PM: 2.8 miles on the treadmill (36'), averaged 12:34. HR 128.

Treadmill shut off and I haven't heard back from the service place. No call back does not seem promising.

PM: 2:35 ride (38.6 miles). 165W. HR 158.

Did some hill repeats on Dequindre hill.

PM: 90' on the trainer (Andrews). 177W. HR 152.

Put my bike on the trainer. It's been crazy rainy and not sure how the roads are. It will probably stay on there for a few weeks as I just renewed my Trainer Road subscription. 

PM: 90' on the trainer (Antelope). 181W. HR 156.

5 x 10' @ 225-238W or 89-94% of last tested FTP. Sweat a ton.
