The Dream-Day 39

Happy Mother's Day!

Nice finish to this week's training.

Swam at 8am and knocked out 1.5 miles. 75% of the workout was threshold work (RPE 6 out of 10) and 25% was intensity (RPE 10 out of 10) which was saved for last. Totally knocked the crap out of me.

Fueled up, picked up Howard (Mr. 8:09 pace for 1/2 marathon last week) Kurzrok and headed to Sunken "Ghetto" State Park for 1pm run. Legs felt heavy after yesterday's ride with coach Joe, but I knew I had to man up and try to keep up. Ran a respectable 8:50 pace (10s faster/mile than last weeks' 7 mile effort). To be honest, without him there, I would've been closer to a 10 min pace.

Rest and stretch tomorrow. Despite The Boomtown Rats, I'm loving Mondays.
