Daily Goal: 50 miles
Weekly Goal: 400 miles
Distance Completed After Today: 250 miles
I felt pretty good today as I packed another 50 miles under my belt, or rather, under my legs. My plan was to split the mileage up into two pieces given commitments I had on my calendar for today. So I got in 30 miles in the morning, thanks in part to a spin class, and then finished the other 20 miles late in the day. I planned to ride outside but a few projects took longer than expected so I hopped back on my trainer to knock out the last 20 miles starting at 5:30pm. I was pretty happy with my effort - 170-190 watts sustained in 5 mile increments with 1 mile "active recovery". My legs also feel like they are coming around again. They were feeling tired after yesterday's epic trainer ride, but today I can feel my second wind.
With all the riding comes laundry. I just threw in the second load of laundry this week, primarily consisting of my bike shorts. Apparently 8 pair of bike shorts are not enough when you go through 2-3 pair a day.
But now I'm showered, supper is almost ready, and my foam roller and tennis ball await to dig into my muscles after we eat. Ah yes. Another good day.
