I also had a pretty good month on the bike, I did my longest ride to date. It was a wonderful 33.48 mile early evening ride with my Uncle Scot which was completed in 2:00:02. You can read about it here.
This month has been full of crazy two or three a days and minimal days off in between. One of the better workouts was the brick that I did last night. I was trying to meet a goal in running, but since the boys have been doing bricks all week I felt that I needed to do one too. So off I went and ended up with a 6.6 mile ride at dusk, followed by a 3.1 mile run into the early evening. It was hot, humid, painful, and 100% glorious. For, you see that run put me over 100 miles for the month. This victory is bittersweet though. For this was a goal that I had set for myself and should have accomplished in Feburary. Due to injury and other minor set backs due to my own reluctance to seek the help of a professional. Had I broke down and just got the help that I needed I probably could have done it sooner, but now is better than later. I also know that I have some bio-mechanical issues to deal with, and now know how to deal with and work through them. This month has also given me an extra boost of confidence going in to the home stretch for my first ever marathon later this month.
Overall this month has been a great learning and growing training experience. Looking forward to more months of broken records and firsts.
