This morning, I headed out for my favorite 35 mile loop - cut through campus to 23rd, then down to Williston, over to Wacahoota Road, down 441 till you hit 234, then finish up on the Hawthorne Trail. I use up to Wacahoota for a long warm-up, generally, and then really go for it after that. This morning was one minute interval morning - six with four minutes of rest in between. It's the first time I've done proper intervals in about two months, so needless to say it hurt a bit, as it should. The rest of the ride was pretty uneventful, save for a couple of ladies barricading the Hawthorne trail just around a blind corner and sending me into the dirt.
This evening after work, I rounded out the day with a second 30 mile ride, just cruising at tempo. I hit a few hills around town, but didn't venture too far away. Finishing up, I could definitely feel that I'd ridden this morning. I didn't feel like complete crap, but I felt decently close to it - or at least close enough that when I found a Five Star Pizza advertisement hanging on my door when I got home, I gave them a call. We'll see how that works out.
Tomorrow's a rest day. Yeah, I know I say that a lot. I've got a bit of cleaning, sewing, and life to catch up on. As an added bonus, I don't work until 7:00 at night, so I've actually got all day to be productive (which we all know will never happen...).
Sugarloaf in three days! I've got a ride down there already.
