I just had the most amazing day! It all started this morning with a wonderful 18 mile bike ride followed by a one mile run. Then I headed off to the gym for my cross training and ST. My knee held in there today and I had no pain, my shin was ok, but not perfect. I am going to need to make sure I stretch and ice big time today so that I can complete my workouts this week pain free if possible.
I felt better on the bike today, I am getting used to the roads and I can tell I am getting stronger especially biking up the hills. My post bike run was my fastest time ever for a brick workout and it was with hills! I can see a big difference in my recovery getting off of the bike and making the transition to the run. I guess this is why we train! Practice makes perfect, right?!
I am just so excited about my workouts today. My fastest bike ride with hills, my fastest brick workout and my highest calorie burn! What a great way to start the week!!

Just a short note to let you know I stopped by. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
I have to figure out where I am heading with fitness. I know I need to get more weight off but I am just losing track of what direction to take. Hoping to find my 'thing' soon and just DO IT!
Happy Monday - You are going to do great in your race.
