This is our easy week. We have been enjoying it. However, we were talking on our 3 miler on thursday that we really just get warmed up at 2 miles so beyond 2 miles is the easiest part of the run. I definitely struggle the most on mile one.
Today we had a 45 min bike. It was going to be a high of 52 today- and sunny- so we hopped on our road bikes for the first time of the season! It was fantastic! I chose shorts & long sleeves. A little cold to start off with but it felt great. The best part of the ride was how great I felt. I really do feel myself getting stronger. We did a ride that we rode many times last summer and I never felt as good as I did today. Last year I would struggle on those hills and today I really felt like I conquered them easier... and didn't dread them like I did before.
Tomorrow is a first for me. Nathan & I are doing a team adventure race. It involves backpacks, compasses, whistles... and adventure! 2-3 miles of canoeing, 13 mile mtn bike and a 3-4 mile trail run. I'm excited about- and a little nervous. I haven't done many bricks yet (bricks are back to back things- like a bike & run, or swim & bike...). But nothing I can't accomplish! It will be fun to do it with Nathan and I know I will push myself very hard.
I'll post how it goes!
Oh, and Sunday we have our first BIG bike- 40 miles! The most I've ever biked was 28 miles. We'll see how my legs feel after tomorrow. March has begun- and the hard core training is starting its full swing!
