Saturday was another rest day from running. It is amazing how easy it is to fall out of the habit once the goal is achieved. There was a stage of the tour so there was day 8 of “le tour challenge”. I rode 15.25 km in 47:32 minutes. It was an interesting ride and on a quiet route that was thick with traffic due to an unexpected road closure.
This morning I got up a little early and headed out the door for my run. I ran part of the route that I biked on Saturday then did some creative zig zagging to get home.
There is a significant uphill (50 m) and a major intersection to cross, I spent 3 minutes waiting for lights. I took it easy and tried to pace myself for the entire run. I ended up running 6.7 miles in 1:00:23 including stoppages for lights so not a bad slow run on a new route.
I missed watching Stage 9 of le tour this morning, but that did not stop me from an easy ride for day 9 of “le tour challenge”. I rode 7.75 km in 25:12 minutes. This was an easy ride at well off my normal pace. My legs are feeling the cumulative impacts due to going from not riding at all to riding every day. I also cajoled my son into a ride and he does not ride as fast as me.
An easy couple of days with a mix of workouts.
