Train insane or remain the same

Weber mile time trial baby. It was so much fun racing again, racing the mile, racing on the track, racing with the boys... so much fun. I was really interested to see what I would run. Lots of hype and adrenaline going into the race. First lap was a 67, can't remember the other ones. Just ran behind Conner. He had gapped me by a few seconds by the last lap. Tried to close some but I think it stayed about the same. I think I pushed myself well and ran as fast as I could. 4:37 was my time. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to break 4:40. After the girls ran their mile, Matt and Bryce were running the 800 and I hopped in for the first lap with them. Ran in the pack with them for 300 and then swung out a bit and kicked. Finished in a 54! Big PR! Definitely wasn't expecting to be able to run that fast. 

Regular Saratoga Springs ride. South on Redwood. 68 minutes, 22.27 miles. My hamstrings were screaming. A mix of the races yesterday and not having biked in a while. 

Pipers 

AM: Up upper. I thought we were taking discovery but it turned out to be a different way, one that I had never been on. The segment on strava was Gibby to Upper. I think the trail is called Gibson...

AM: 30 minutes on the bike and 15 on the elliptical accompanied by the coolest person ever, thee Swag Jess :) 

PM: .75 swim at 1:56 per 100yds 

1.25-mile swim at 2:11 per 100yds 

1st workout in the Dee. Except for the snow hitting you in the eye, the weather on the warm-up was awesome. I love winter running. Workout was 1500 meter repeats. Did two of them at 5:11 pace. During the third one I was fading hard so Talley told me to go til 1250, five laps instead of six. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do another one, but Talley told me to do one more 1250 so I did. Slowed down quite a bit but did what I could. Grinding with the boys is just the best. 

Been lazy for a while and wanted to do something. Started at the church at the bottom of the hill and ran close to Jamie's house and back. 5:54 avg pace. Foot hurt a lot after but wth I'm used to it.
