Back in Action

Tonight I had my first post-plague workout.
Along with TG Snells, TH JB, and Greg as the Roachie (althouhg only for a bit - pictures to come).

First on tap was a 45 minute ride. I did one 8 mile loop and averaged a 17.78mph pace. I am content with this. I felt tired and weak, but great to be outside again. I could only do 45 minutes, not the 60 I was hoping for.

Next up - a 45 minute run. I was feeling exhausted after the bike, but wanted to get a run in, so I decided just to do my 2.4 mile run loop. I ended up doing this in 20:39 - an 8:36 pace!!! And I negative splitted, too! I paced 8:41 for the first half and 8:32 for the second half. I am very happy with this. I was breathing heavy and I felt slower than I was. I felt sluggish, but I am happy with the results.

So all in all - it was a good step back in the right direction. I'm so happy to be back in training mode!
