6/18/11 (Saturday) Activities

Today I ran 10 miles in 1:17:35.  This was an outside run.

This week has been harder.  Though I have managed to do fairly well with my times, I can tell that taking time off, and probably all the poor eating, has had its effects.  The run felt better today and I was able to complete each mile at a faster pace than last week.

After a pit stop to change my clothes and grab a snack for energy replacement, I cycled 26.62 miles in 1:29:45.

Total running miles for week = 33

Total cycling miles for week = 42.83

6/11/11 (Saturday) Activities

Today I ran 10 miles in 1:19:58 in another test to see how I would fare after taking a vacation from my training.  I felt pretty tired the first three miles but began to feel better after that.  However, the only way I was able to keep it under 1:20 was to do a 7:33 final mile.  I still felt pretty good overall though.

I came home, changed, had a little snack for energy, and headed out and biked 26.21 miles in 1:29:58.

Total running miles for the week = 20.00
Total cycling miles for the week = 26.21
