Almost 4 weeks after Lake Placid, my training has kicked back into full gear. So far this week has been the best training week I've had this summer. This past weekend Jen and I went up to North Park to help support the Kid's Triathlon. Afterwards, we ran a good 2 hour run at sub 8 pace. We knew we didn't want to push too hard because we again woke up early on Sunday for the Mon Valley Century / 70 miler. I rode the Mon Valley 70 miler with Paul, and we clipped off the hilly course at just under 20 mph. Sunday afternoon was just an awesome day. Our good friends through a wedding party for us at the Penn Woods Pavilion in North Huntingdon.

On Monday I ran an easy 40 minutes, and Tuesday headed up to the track for some speed workout. My 1 hr workout consisted of 3x800's @ sub 6 pace, and 1x3 mile with the last mile at 5:50 pace. On Wednesday I headed to the pool, but soon found out it was down for maintenance, so I decided to extend my bike workout by 30 minutes tonight. I biked for an hour and a half, with 8x1 minute sprints, and 2x2 minute sprints. And as for tonight I headed to the pool for 30 minutes and then Eric and I ran for an hour with sprints on all significant hills including the infamous Irwin Shade Hill. I'm really excited that I'm recovered from Placid, and on my way to a very solid training schedule for Placid.
