Late April resurgence

Tuesday 4-24 Rode up to NC state line (toward Saluda) but turned back there. Dividing Waters Road both times.  55 miles in 3.5 hours.  Wed 4-25 ran 5.2 miles. First 3 miles in 26 minutes ; did 3- 15 minute sprints/ intervals. Last 2.2 miles slowed it down to 10 min pace.  Oh yea there is a new free running magazine in upstate SC called "Pace". Local running news. Great read.  Friday 4-27 Ran 6 miles total to/from the Y.  Swam the most this year by far at 3300 yds or 2 miles in 1:22. It wore me out. Was stopped right at 3300 yds due to thunder ( lifeguard says get out). Last Y swim this year maybe unless I rejoin in September for one month.  Sat 4-28 rode over to Furman late to check out the "Wheels for Meals" riders/event. Did 39 miles and 3500 ft of climbing. Backside of Paris mtn. still so slow I don't even want to say how long. I want improvement! Sunday 4-29 rode 55 miles.  For the first time in 6 months I got back on my light road bike. It felt good. Been training on the nearly 35 lb bike or 45 lb/32 c tired bike. I went up to the watershed and intercepted Doug. Then I tried to lead him back home in a hurry. He was doing the 110 mile Saluda ride and had a deadline. I averaged 17.5 mph overall.  Mon 4-29. Just work. Walk 20,000 steps.  Tuesday night after work ran about 7 miles steady.  Wednesday 5-2-12. Volunteered to work. No swim bike or run.  Thursday 72 mile ride 6600 feet vertical. Details to follow.
