07.17.2019 Wet Wednesday

5:45 AM:  This morning was running speed work.  I did 10 x 400m meters.  These short fast days make me feel like it is a recovery week.  It may turn into a recovery week based on how much time I end up with for training after doing other projects first this weekend.  :-)

31 miles on the bike this afternoon. Heat index of 102 and lots of wind. July temps mixed with March winds. Made for a harder session than I was anticipating.

I feel so lucky here. No storms or violent weather, and so far really have not had heat that is uncomfortable before about 11 AM, and it's always a dry heat. What mainly drives me nuts here is the sun--it's blinding and feels like it is burning my skin off in the afternoon, all the way to 7 or 8 PM. I think a combo of clear, dry air and altitude. We are not that high up here--most of my runs are at 2500-3000 feet--but it seems a lot brighter than at sea level. Only indoor workout today--1:15 on the trainer with some max pickups. That was fun!
