Training Week August 30 - September 5th

Sunday, August 30th: A good trip around the long bike ride I've done before. I felt much better and seemed to have a better handle on this biking thing. I hope that it continues to feel better and more secure. I'm not sure I'll ever get much beyond 30 miles because... well that's a long time to do one thing, but we'll see. I think it makes the husband happy so there's also that. 

Monday, August 31st: This was a weird run. I took off, planning five and everything felt good so I kept going and I also kept going fast. It was nice and unexpected. I think it goes to show a bit about how sleeping a good amount can be a positive. I'm not sure about the pacing (I did doubelcheck) so maybe I'm just having a small bump up in my ability? Of course, now there is the worry about what happens if I get sick, but I think that just came about at present because... well... you know. 

Tuesday, September 1st: My friend had her 300th Peloton ride so I clearly had to join in. Aside from the moment when I just stopped doing the arms, not all together a bad ride especially after the quick run yesterday.

Wednesday, September 2nd: I called this a simple run and that pretty much was all it was. I felt like I could go out and wanted to go out so I did. I'm surprised my legs are holding up as well as they are an my paces. Trying to just keep at it and, perhaps, this is just a little level up thingy. 

Thursday, September 3rd: Again, just a run that got me out there and got me reaching my miles. I am pretty sure I'm going to try and do the Baystate half which will help with focus a bit more on a training plan, although what I've been doing would probably be good enough to accomplish the half. 

Friday, September 4th: I finally added in a rest day. I didn't truly feel like I needed it but it seemed like a good idea plus... house to myself so post-work bath for the win. 

Saturday, September 5th: Long run with Peloton. I wanted some company on this run so plugged in Becs and it was nice. There was a good moment about 2/3rds through where she just kind of says those right things that are, perhaps, too deep for running but, while running, perhaps not.
