February 27th, Tuesday

Got out today for one hour of work on the bike and running.  It was a bit blustery as I set out on the bike to the Shood. After a two and a half mile warm-up ride, I set out to run 3 miles in preparation for Saturday’s 5K. I figured this would be my last running workout for the next couple of days. Each mile after the transition got a little faster with the final mile ending in 10:01.  I feel like it’s taking an extra long time to get warmed up these last few weeks. I have to decide how to approach the race on Saturday in terms of warming up. I think I will repeat the Hillsboro girls warm-up that I did last week before my time trial. My plan is to do that a good 30 minutes ahead of the race and just relax on the final 15 minutes as my capillaries dilate and my muscles get totally warm. The next few days will be light work only.
