Brick Day Thursday

I ended up not cycling into work like I wanted. At 5:30 this morning weather.com was saying there was a 40% chance of showers after 4PM. I didn't like those odds since I would have had to ride home with a bunch of stuff in my backpack that wouldn't like to get wet, like my laptop. It was kind of a bummer because I had everything ready to go and I had my route planned. Pretty soon gas will be $5 a gallon and I'll have no choice but to ride my bike so there'll be plenty of time to do it in the future. Instead I headed down to the basement and did a Spinnervals time saver workout. I meant to do the level 7.5 recovery/technique because I was hurting a bit from the lactate threshold workout the night before. Instead I must have selected the level 10 anaerobic threshold workout that consisted of a bunch of 90 second reps above your 40K pace. That one hurt pretty good and I was one sweaty mess after. After a quick shower it was off to work.
Luckily there were munchkins at work right next to my cube. I think I threw down 10 of them before anyone else even knew I hit them. Suddenly people were wondering where all the chocolate ones went.
I bolted out of work at 4:40 so I could get home to do my brick. I headed out on my road bike for 21.43 miles. It hurt. I was feeling the past two trainer workouts and I kept telling myself to back off because I was running after. I ended up with a 19.5 average (1:05:48 ride time). Average heart rate of 140 and 1154 feet of climbing.
After a four minute transition (luckily I'll never have to enter a combination on a padlock, unlock my front door, put my bike inside, get out of my cycling gear and into running clothes in a race) it was out the door to start the run. I sort of felt pretty good on the first mile and was 6:59 for the mile with a heart rate of 159. I slowed mile 2 down to a 7:18 mile but my avg heart rate went up to 165. The next two mile I was 7:28 pace with an avg heart rate still climbing to 168. Then I just warmed down nice and easy.
Run totals were 4.15 miles. 30:38. Avg Pace 7:22/mi. Avg heart rate 165. Total Ascent 503 ft. This leads me to believe the watch couldn't come close to working out the climbing I did Monday because today was virtually flat compared to Monday. One hill Monday was more climbing than everything involved in my run course this evening.

All in all it was a very successful day. I'm going to have to start logging what I eat and get advice on that (I know, first thing will be don't eat 10 munchkins just because they're there), but after my shower I jumped on the scale and it said 154.5. I said that can't be right and did it again and it was the same. I'm eating a lot, I'm getting protein. I have lots of fruits, sports drinks, grains, wheat bread and snacks throught the day so I should at least be maintaining weight. I don't really want to get much lighter unless it's going to make me faster and I don't think that is going to work out for me. So tonight I'm loading up on the ice cream!!!
