Work to Carefree Hwy to Cave Creek to Deer Valley to work.
I didn't have much time, so I did my best to ride fast.
Cold feels better already.

I feel a cold coming on, sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches. I'll admit two of those I have all the time, but the sore throat is new. Anyway, I decided it would be better to sleep than to ride 90 minutes this morning.

Noon run from the office. It was quite warm and no shade.
I took it easy to see how the foot felt, and it's definitely better. 48 hours can heal all wounds.

Rest day. Left foot hurts.
Busy day at work.

42 miles of running last week. I know I can sustain that volume for a couple more weeks. Little injuries are popping up.

I wrote up some thoughts.

Bike

LONG solo ride in the damn hills. I wanted to get at least one solo century done, and I'm glad it's over. Only stopped once, to restock bottles.

Run

1h 02m
6.30 miles
09m 50s /Mi

Transition run. The first mile was AGONY. My knees felt like they would burst. That pain went away, and the rest of the run was cruising. I'm pretty happy about it.

Here is the bike route. It's a fun course, except going North on New River Road with the headwind is really daunting.
