April 4 - A Very Happy Easter - 8 Miles of Running and 20 miles of cycling

AM Workout #2 - 8 Miles Running

Course: Mall Run
Time: 1:12:33 (9:04 min/mile pace)
Weather: 55F, Sunny, Light Winds

A nice, easy run to complete 70 miles. Of all things, this was the primary goal of the week, to see if I can handle extremely high volumes at this point of time. Passed, with flying colors!!! My legs really don't feel tired at all, and I punished them running every day, with a 20 mile run in the middle of the week, then recovering without rest to finish a very fast 10 mile run on Saturday. I couldn't have asked for better!!!

I'm taking a nice day off tomorrow since I only have 40 miles of running to do next week as part of an active recovery week.

PM Workout: 20 mile bike

Course: Great Kills Park
Time: 1:06:34
Weather: 65F, Sunny, Light Winds

This was a nice little "victory lap" of sorts, celebrating a great week. Although I didn't make the 60 miles I wanted on the bike, the bike this week was only secondary to my running goals, in which I achieved. The bike seems to be finally up and running with no glitches now, so I'm expecting no problems next week.

Here is the final tally of the week:

6000 meters swimming (completed)
30 miles cycling (out of 60 planned, 30 miles incomplete)
70 miles running (completed)

As this is Easter, next week's plan will come a little late as I'm a little busy with other things. I'll get it up as soon as possible.
