Shake it off...

Shake it off, that's exactly what I did this morning. I'll admit, I was a little doubtful about tomorrow just because I wasn't feeling close to 100% yet. The cold was gone but my spirit hadn't yet returned. So I figured just to be safe I'd go for a short brick workout to get a feeling for where I stand. So here's the workout:

Bike: 12 miles on the road bike at 22.0 mph ave.

Run: 4 miles at a 7 min ave pace.

As soon as I started I knew I was better. 22.0 mph on the road bike is much higher than normal for me. I'm usually in the 19.5-21 range depending on ride (if I'm by myself). I suspect if I had been on the tri bike it would've been around 25 mph. Good workout.

The only test left is how I feel for the rest of the day. I could've just destroyed any progress I've made on getting better and tomorrow could just be another rest day (for the sake of $85 it better not be). Starting now, Gatorade, lots of carbs, lots of light food (rice cakes, pasta etc.).

Heart rate monitor today hopefully.

Listening to: Everytime I Die

Feeling: Better (and crossing my fingers)
