World Cycling Day - Lunch Greenway Ride

I left from the Haw Ridge parking lot and rode out for 30 minutes. I made it to the Elza Gate parking lot, but I had to do a few parking lot loops at the end to get in an hour. This was fun and I think it will become a nice option for some easy cycling miles. At some point I would like to do it early with my headlight, just see how that feels. Distance 12.39 mi.

Morning Run

I am better recovered today, than yesterday. I am glad I took yesterday off, it made this run feel a so much better. I warmed up with some drills - A skips, B skips, High knees, and Straight-leg. I did 6.47 miles, picked up the effort on Chestnut Ridge and Calhoun's Hill, both ways. It was not a real hard effort, but just a little push. I got in an hour with no niggles. It is a good day.

Greenway Ride Extended

I did the same park at Haw Ridge and ride to Elsa Gate, but I added on the Warehouse loop.

Saturday, June 6

Recovery Report

HRV: 38, Resting HR: 60.

Morning Run

I thought that because we were starting around 8:30 I would have time for and the need of carb loading. I had oatmeal and pancakes. I was bloated and all the miles were a struggle. I might have done too much yesterday.

We went to the Oak Room and they addressed us as regulars. It's the simple things that bring pleasure. I had a Chorro Furioso and a Distinguished Gentleman.
