    Did another brick today!

    I rode 30 miles on a mountain bike... as a *fun* ride... at about a 10 mph average.

    Then I went and ran 20 minutes... and I guess 2 miles.

    My legs felt really great from the start... and I didn't have jelly legs. Maybe it was because I rode so slow today?

    Either way, my brick felt great!

    Hhhuuummmm... anyone else out there doing their bricks?

    I have done a couple since my last post... my last brick...

    Rode 37 miles at a 16.5 mph average
    Ran 2 miles at a 10 minute mile

    That is the most riding/running I have ever done back-to-back. The run... HURT. It was HARD. I walked some of it, and sprinted other parts to keep my 10 minute mile. Parts of it, I was so focused on just moving... I closed my eyes and ran (I verified the pavement was OK before doing so). Yes, I was kind of out of it.

    I hope it gets easier! Hopefully, if it doesn't rain or snow this weekend, I will be out there to do it again!
