I knew it was a good ride today. I just didn’t know how good it was until a few minutes ago. Remember how I said I wasn’t sure if I could break the 5:30 minute per mile in the mountain bike?  I not only did my best personal time of 5:16 minute per mile on my way out… I also did  a sustained 5:24 minute per mile over 13 miles.

I pushed hard yesterday and today… I’m very happy that I managed to do my 15 mile bike ride in 90 minutes, all I hope is I can sustain that pace without hurting myself. This week is going to be interesting… Run on Tuesday and Thursday; then do a 2 hour spinning session on Wednesday… off on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then run on Sunday… 5k.  This time I hope to have more pictures
