Memorial Day weekend ride

Sometimes the body remembers what it was like to run as a 35 year old. Saturday was one of those times. Nothing really hurt, just minor knee ache, stride felt fluid and comfortable. The 9:18 average pace means I dipped below a 9 minute pace for a couple miles on my 4.7 run. I considered going longer but better to play it safe, enjoy the experience and hope for another one soon.

Recovered today by going on a 26 mile bike ride. Longest of the year and generally my longest when training. I do need to work on doing longer rides but this one felt good and two hours on the bike is a nice workout. It was a beautiful day for a ride and Mt. Hood was visible from west of Mt. Angel.

Also the nurseries were looking good as well. It's nice to be able to work the workouts into the day as it progresses rather than having to fit them in before or after work. Makes retirement seem more and more attractive.
