Nice work, everyone! Some NICE milestones in here. Very inspiring.

I was traveling the last week which made my workouts.... interesting. I missed Wednesday's ride, so Thursday I went to the hotel gym and did my ride (intervals) and then my run (hill repeats - longer, not as hard effort, at 8%). Was something like 50-60 minutes, and 50-60 minutes. I haven't really rode and then ran for a while. Maybe you just mentally tune it out, but I didn't really notice the difference of the effective brick vs. just straight running. Then, I had a day off, following by an actual brick (just aerobic) on Saturday - again, the running felt pretty normal, but I hate the treadmill as it is so maybe it gets mixed in. I missed Sunday, Monday, AND Tuesday, so I'm playing catch-up come Wednesday. We did a lot of walking, standing, and wandering around, so it's not like I was workout-free, just training-free. Oh well. I was pretty exhausted - we were 3 hours off our normal timezone and out of our eating/sleeping rhythm pretty badly. I'm afraid the workouts would have put me over the edge and I'd have ended up sick.

I'm debating taking my normal Friday off in prep for Saturday/Sunday long ride/run days vs. catching up on a workout. We're actually not in town this weekend (again) so I may have to shift my run/ride around, too. Good timing, though, this is about as late as I can be messing with my schedule like that.

Sorry for the diatribe... I am rationalising/reviewing.

Tomorrow is a running day: warmup, 5x800m @ maximum w/ 800m walk for recovery, cooldown.
