Weather - 80 degrees, sunny. The humidity has vanished, and that means running seemed a lot easier today. I ran 5 miles around the arboretum and then to Cardinal. The last 2 miles I picked up the pace and was running a relaxed 6:30. When I got to Cardinal I immediately jumped on the bike and began intervals. I usually do 10 intervals, but I felt strong so extended it to 12, all on maximum tension, which is also a first. After the intervals I did 5 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 10 minute walk home. I have had a good 2 weeks of training, and the mantra for the next 3 days will be "short and easy". Time to freshen up for the Mingo race this Saturday. The course will most likely be flooded and muddy in spots, so it should be challenging and fun. #207 z.m - #120
