A breakthrough workout today.  I biked at 7:30 AM for a 25 mile bike ride.  I had to turn back and put warmer clothes on.  I don't like biking that early but I had a big day afterwards and I wanted to get the brick in.

I paced the biking pretty good for my first 25 miler of the season. I went out with much of the time at 22mph.  After the turn around, it was mostly 21 mph.

I ran the MVP 5k right after and wanted to keep around 7 min miles.  I had a 7:00. 7:15, 7:15.  So I felt pretty good to not pushing it too hard and this early in the season. 

Afterwards I coached t-ball and fast pitch.  I was dead after the fast pitch practice since I pitched batting practice.  We layed a 80 x 30 piece of ground with sod so my kids will have plenty of grass to be active on.

Good thing Sunday is your rest day. It looks like you could use some after a day like this.

Man sounds like quite the busy day John. Congrats on the breakthrough workout, you're doing well so early in the year.
