First big training weekend under our belts. The plan was a three hour moderate ride on Saturday and 5 hour easy ride on Sunday. I had an idea the 5 hour ride wasn't going to work for me... as the morning became early afternoon. Clearly Chester and Zoe were taking their time getting ready. Emma had staked out the New York Times I thought I would read. I had friends in town to meet so my time was limited. LUCKILY, my plan allows for alternatives. While Chester braved the clear skies and sun for a muddy five hour tour of Leif Erickson, Zoe and I started at Saltzman. We took the Maple Trail to Leif then added some 30 sec hill climbs up the firelanes as we made our way back to Saltzman for an easy 2 hour run. My legs were tired, but I suspect not as tired as they would have been if I had been riding. I wanted to be careful since the 2 hour run was a significant increase in mileage for me. In the future, on days I can't ride back to back, I will have to add weights to add more fatigue to my legs for that second day.
Overall it felt good to get the workouts finished. My hips and right knee are talking to me...but it's a familiar story of tightness. My plan today is an easy spin and stretch along with some core work. This week my plan looks like this: ( I work on the Bold colored days.)

Tuesday: Xfit, Run w/intervals
Wednesday: xfit, Ride 2.5 hours
Thursday: Easy run
Friday: Xfit, Ride 2-3 hours

Chester's Plan:
