8.2.17 Happy Hump Day!

Thanks Kim!! I can't wait to get out and ride even more now!!!

No training today - rest day, and it's a very welcome rest day, too. I'm changing tomorrow's run workout to a bike ride in order to get a feel for my Look pedals again. I rode a bit around our cul-de-sac last night after getting the pedals swapped out, and I forgot how "slippery" the Looks are when trying to get clipped in. I feel like I'm always having to flip them back over (right side up). Granted, I haven't used Looks in a long time, so it's just getting used to them again. I use a dual sided platform / SPD on my mountain bike, which I absolutely love because I can use either side to get up to speed and then clip in at my leisure. I may swap out my mountain bike pedals for platforms and drop the Looks off completely.

Back at work, too, as of Tuesday, so no more sleeping in! Lots of meetings, a little time in my classroom. Kids start next Wednesday--yikes! So much to do, so little time. Feel like I really haven't had any vacation--our only trip was only 6 days and involved a HIM, house hunting and contract; and the rest of the summer was mostly spent (outside of swim/bike/run time) going through stuff and packing boxes.

5:30 AM: 1:20 trainer ride from hell. Lots of hard intervals. At least it woke me up!
4:30 PM: Easy 20-minute run (supposed to be a brick, but wasn't for various reasons); interrupted by about 10 minutes of torrential rain.
