Good point CWR. Although today the cycling was just as hard! We put in 38.52 miles and I feel like I did after my century last fall. Ironically the same century was held today, maybe it is sympathy pains.
Friday- 13 miles cycling
Saturday- 38.5 miles cycling
Sunday- WE WILL ride 40-50 miles
Monday- Running
Tuesday is our much needed rest day.I feel like I am starting to fall back into the routine of running and riding. They are still painful since I spent 2 months doing virtually nothing, but I am out there.
I keep telling myself what my mom used to say when I would tell her "I can't do X." She would reply very sternly "Can't never could." I used to annoy me so much. Now I know I can and I will. Thanks Mom!

i think it is probably because its a higher impact sport and so your hr is usually higher. once you stop working out all the time when your heart is conditioned and hr is low, getting back into it your hr is naturally higher and you get worn out quicker.

Oooohhhh- I like what your mom said "can't never could." Yes, annoying when you hear it from mom- but it's so true...
I also like what Henry Ford said "Whether you think you can or think you can't; you're probably right."
You think you can so YOU CAN!!! You're getting out there and that's all that matters! I'm so proud of you for "just doing it."
Now go ride that bike an amazingly long way today. I'll be thinking of you (and secretly wishing I was riding with you).
Oh yeah, when do you move into your new house?Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

Thanks Tanya. I feel so great having a little group to tell me I can do it. And none of you have ever met me, what a great board this is.
Wow the ride yesterday was tough! I posted all about it in the adventure section. We decided after that long haul to rest today. Since DH has his IV therapy Wednesday we have to play it by ear:
Mon- Rest
Tues- Run
Weds- Run or Rest
Thurs- Run or Rest
Fri- Run
Sat- Camping/light hiking, maybe a short ride
Sun- 52 mile ride.Amanda
