Workouts this week:
Tuesday – 6 x 800 (90 sec RI)
Done. I had so much energy and wanted to do more. It must be the chia seeds in my green monster smoothie that I drink almost every day.
Thursday – 2 miles easy, 3 miles @ short tempo, 1 mile easy
Did not run.
Saturday – 8 miles at HMP, 10 minutes walking
I ran 3.13 miles for a virtual 5K. It was another gorgeous day to run along the lakefront.
Total miles ran this week is 9.08.
Since I am doing The L.A.T.E. Ride at the end of the month, I decided to take out my bike for a ride. And yes, I did that along the lakefront too. It was tough at the beginning but then I got the hang of it. I did 2 miles and took a break because my quads were on fire and my seat was not so comfortable (even with a seat cushion). I did another 2 miles and took another break. I guess that was my warmup because I turned around and rode 4 miles straight for a total of 8.
After today I truly admire those people that do long bike rides. What I plan to do before my bike ride is to shop for another bike. The one I have is a good one but it is a mountain bike and HEAVY. I also want a more comfortable seat. I would have pedaled longer today if my behind was not hurting.

They will definitely look for me, but then remember that mama went back to work to afford the food and…
That is true. It is a time to also recharge my batteries.
