Weekend Training

Lately I've had some slight soreness in my hip, and my doctor and friend Gin said it wouldn't hurt to have a small cortisone injection. Only bad thing with the shot is that it sets you back two days. This in turn required me to take off Friday and Saturday. I spent Saturday at Trizilla setting up my Felt with fancy Zipp 808 tubluars!

Well on Sunday when all of my friends ran in the Great Race, I was up early and out in the saddle. Sunday's work called for a brick workout, so Paul met me at my front door around 8:00 AM. We set out at a moderate pace, and I tried to keep my heart rate in zone 2-3 (around 160-165). We biked for an hour and a half, and I immediately set out on a moderate paced tempo run. I ran for 40 minutes and called it a day.

My hip is feeling better today and hopefully I don't have any surprises the next two weeks!
