Training Log Archive: YouRNotHere

Ran the Green course at QOC Bowie meet. Of course I had major trouble with one control, #3. That and a few other bad route choices gave me a very bad time for this 5.4k course.

Short upper body weight training today with Andrew.

Road ride which ended up being the Tour of Howard County. I wanted to get in 57 miles in order to reach the 200 mile mark for the week but did not want to get too far away from home in case I suddenly hit the wall and needed to turn back. So, I rode from Columbia to Glenelg, Dayton, Highland, Laurel, Savage and then back to Columbia. It ended up being almost exactly 57 miles. I did almost turn back at mile 31, but decided it was too nice of a day so just kept going. It was hot and breezy but great day to be out riding a bike.

Another much shorter road ride today. Need to recover a little bit plus I'll be running intervals with Andrew later so better save some energy.

14 intervals with Andrew. 30 second sprint/60 second walk with 2 minute warm-up run.

Long road ride today to Sugarloaf Mountain in Frederick County. It was a hot and hilly ride. I have not ridden this far in a number of months so will be interesting to see how my body reacts. It's probably going into a state of shock right now. I think it was the heat that got to me. I did stay fairly well hydrated and was drinking energy drink and eating along the way. Also finished strong up the last climb before my home. Just need to rest and recover now.

After a 2 hour nap to recover from the ride, it was off to the gym with Andrew for upper body weight training. Andrew did squats but there was no way I was going to try that today. My legs would collapse.

Taking a few days off this week to do some cycling. This is usually great time of year as far as weather and this year looks like no exception. Did the Mt Airy loop today.

Morning run with Andrew.
