Canals with Fitzy and Craig. Good company makes this run go fast.

Easy spin on the canals to finish the week.

Tempe-Beeline and around, then back. Target HR was 140. I felt great.
This might be the last loooong brick in the heat.

100F for this run. No shade, harsh. I felt pretty good, though. Garmin died at 26:00, so I estimated the rest.
Never buy a Garmin 405. It's shit.

I felt great during this run. A bit of pain in my knee, which may be weather changing.
Here's the suck part: I had a sneeze fit in the shower, about 10 minutes of straight sneezing. This happens during Spring and Fall allergy season; it's no fun. Anyway, I think I strained my lower back sneezing! I can't bend over now, and it's really uncomfortable to walk.
Someone call me a Waaaa-mbulance.

Back hurts so I took it slow, and no flipturns.
500 warm up
5x 200
6x 100

Meant to take it easy, but I zone 5'ed it up the big hill just to wake up. I'm super groggy this morning.
I saw Becca at the end of my ride. She rocks. Go say hi to her.

500 warm up
400 breast (oof)
6x (50, 100, 150)
100 drills
300 easy

I tried to keep things easy, like I want to do all week. I pushed a bit more than I wanted, but that's fine. ...stayed in aero as much as possible.

Transition run. I felt really good on this run. 3 cars almost killed me. Kids are definitely back in school.

The good news here is that this same run would have been at 155 Avg HR 4 months ago. Aerobic progress!
Every bit of last week was hills, heat, speed, or windy. This week I'm doing 17 hours of easy miles. That's just how it's going to be.

500 warm up
400 (breast, free)
400, 400, 400, 400
100 ...looked down, saw and hour, quit.
