Today wasn't nearly as a nice as yesterday but was still not to bad outside. I decided to scrap the ride on the schedule for today and insert a tempo run instead. After the additional riding yesterday at the ALS ride I needed to get out and stretch the legs.
Once again I was burdened with a couple of pages from work last night so was up two or three times, nothing major but more of annoyance than anything else. In not the so distance future I will be completely off the on call rotation at work which will be a nice relief and hopefully just in time for race season. With three straight days of non solid sleep I was a bit sluggish this morning. I woke up with a bit of a head congestion probably caused by the mix of the weather changing, the lack of solid sleep and the abuse on the bike I put the body through yesterday.
First thing in the morning we decided to go to Einsteins to get some coffee, bagels and let Landon run around downtown since it was still somewhat nice out. This let me push my run back to the early afternoon.
I decided to do a nice temp run and see where the legs were at after the long ride yesterday. The pace was good but the heartrate was a little high. Overall the run felt good, besides the dodging of the ice and the occasional puddle I was happy with how everything felt.
Distance: 5.12 miles
Pace: 7:22 per mile
Heartrate: 165 bpm
I just looked at the plan for the week and I can already tell it is going to bring a little pain!
