And now, a word from our sponsors

I actually ended up doing 40 miles on the bike instead of 50. I was running a little late and it just made sense to cut it back by 10. I am not sure that I would have done 60 if I was running ahead of schedule, but hey, I get a little slack that early in the morning.

I need to figure out the eating/drinking while riding stuff over the next few weeks. That part of the ride was pretty awkward. I do have (and wore today) one of those cycling jerseys with pockets in the back for snacks---you know, the type with the zipper in front and logos everywhere, the ones that make suburban man look like Tour god. The jersey I have features my employer. Yeah. A friend at work had a set made up with our company logo featured prominently along with some lesser logos sprinkled around. In a way, I guess my company is my primary sponsor so maybe I shouldn't feel like such a poser or Tour wannabe when I wear it.

The facts are this:
40 miles
2:09
18.6 mph pace
150 heartrate

I felt great, went over 20 for a handful of miles. Yesterday's long run did not factor in.
