Re: Tuesday July 31
Tonya -- I work for an insurance company right now... and my job involves a lot of meetings and a lot of independent work betweeen meetings. so right now working from home is a great option.. not sure how long it will last though

also I forget who asked, but my average ride for the month of July was around 32 miles... needless to say I got out on the bike ALOT this month!

hope everyone has a great night

Re: Tuesday July 31
6 miles this evening. The humidity is still down, so this was a pleasant one.

Something to note: my headphones broke 2 weeks ago so I've been running free since then. It's nice - but I think I'll still get new headphones eventually

Plan tonight was 9 miles with 5x600m VO2max bursts. The plan called for a 2 minute jog between each burst. I actually did a 400m jog, which was just a little longer than 2 minutes.

I did this with a 4 mile warmup, the bursts and recoveries, and then a 2.125 mile cooldown.

I struggled with the speed stuff. I could not maintain a steady pace during the bursts. I had my moments when I was fast and moments where I felt like I was dogging it.
