is that my hair really doesn't look good like this.I also learned from my Sunday run that I can very comfortably stay in mid Zone 2 and throw down 7 minute miles. All I can say about this is "WHEW". FINALLY... I'm seeing the results of focusing on a solid base!
Sundays run was one hour total. I had thought it was all easy Zone 1-2 but on closer inspection of the training schedule it broke down like this:
- 20 min in Zone 1-2
- 20 min in Zone 3 (164- 172 BPM)
- 20 min in Zone 1-2
You know what it does in Eugene in the Spring? I freakin RAINS... A LOT! Sunday was no exception! The REALLY cool thing was, (read sarcasm), that when I started into my Zone 3... I started on a gradual incline, a head-wind kicked up, AND it started pouring AND sleeting! YES! It was like suckin down a shit sandwich and asking for seconds! No matter though... it's better than sitting on the couch. Overall it was a great run and I was surprised at how my legs functioned considering my power test on the bike the previous day.
Robby is a happy boy. Robby likey the trainey. Robby gettin fit.
OH! This is a Tulip Tree! Have you guys seen these things!? We may not have Cardinals here... but we have some kick ASS trees!
