End of Week #1...

Saturday night, relaxing after my first official week of training leading up to TCM.  Another marathon 'cram', with 5 weeks to go.  I'll give this week a B-.
Saturday September 1st:  I started today off with a brisk 20 minute ride to the store (avg. 20.8) before I set out on a pretty solid 16 mile run.  Averaged about 8:15 for 16 mainly on trails...felt pretty springy though I could have used a tab more water over the final 3-4 miles.  Finished my morning up with a 25 minute ride home (avg. 21.6).  A solid stretch followed...
My evening run was a 4 miler at 11:15p...Jenn rode along on the bike...nothing too quick, 4 miles at 7:21 pace...no aches or pains...core followed.

I ended the week with 44 miles of running and 6.25 hours on the bike along with 4 strength/core sessions.  Feeling pretty good.  Week #2, 55 miles :)
Other weekly highlights:
Friday:  Ride to and from work with a 9 mile trail run thrown in...
Sunday:  Rode to the store, 2:20 ride with the group and then a 25 minute ride home (3:05 total) averaging 20.1.  I struggled over the final 45 minutes, but in the end, got 'er done.

So let's see what tomorrow's ride has in store for me...another 3 hours, but I have to admit, I'm already looking forward to Tuesday's run...15 miles with 12 of it 'rolling' :)  Bring it...

...also, did I mention that PowerBar ROX?  Always there for me...

D...out
