Legs!

Yep, they feel normal today. Almost completely normal. Nearly like they did before I started this whole running thing. Well, stronger, but I'm speaking of the absence of pain. So what does that mean? Well, that I need to run of course! :) I will be running tomorrow, I'm trying something new, I am stuck at 5.7 as my speed, I think my body is settling in ant trying to make that it's "comfortable" speed. I am fine with my body finding said speed, but I would like it to be a 10 min mile, so that when I push I can get down to closer to an 8 min mile, and when I want to slack off a bit, I can do that 10-11 min mile. Tomorrow I plan to do some intervals, 1 min running all out, hard as I can, chest nearing explosion speed, and 1 min walk to recover. I plan to do this for 30 min, with a 5 min warmup and cooldown. I will be using my GPS to lap between the runs and walks, so I can see what my max running speed at 1 min intervals is. Should be interesting to see how this looks on paper (well, on computer screen, as I doubt I'll ever print it :) )

Back on the road bike, have I mentioned how good a road bike feels after the mountain bike all winter? It's like holding 15mph is so easy compared to holding 9 with studded tires and about 300lbs of bike under ya. (Ok, not quite 300, but you get the idea). Feeling great and still dropping weight, holding around 234/235 for almost a week now, but that beats the heck out of holding at 255 :) It will drop again, this is just how my body works.

Well, I don't think I have anything else. Carry on. :)
