Although work has been crazy busy (in Florida last week, going to Cali this week), I'm liking the ability to train. Saturday, I covered 5.6 miles in 57 minutes on a 4:1 minute run:walk ratio. And then this afternoon, I went OUTSIDE for a ride. At 35 minutes in, I paused contemplating whether to continue and find a extended loop, which would push me beyond current comfort levels. Or, return home safely and comfortably on the route I took out. Like Robert Frost, I continued on, letting myself discover my own path. I found a Rustic Road with a few bumps to keep me honest and lots of open fields and fresh air. When I got home, I was surprised with the results: 30 miles covered in about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Nice! I knew there was a good reason I keep doing this.
