Summer Cycling Week 1-epsilon

Sun 7/3/2011: Ran down to the River and over the pedestrian bridge and back with Brian. First run in a month or so. It was very humid and my legs felt like jello. Hmmm.
Miles: 4

Mon 7/4/2011: First 4th in the US in 3 years! Got up late and had to get ready for our BBQ, so I did the Cambridge-Belmont-Spring St. - Arlington - Cambridge loop today. 80 minutes. Walked to the Fireworks by the MIT bridge that evening and back. Foot was sad by the end. So much for running 2-3 times a week. Seriously, this thing has been so closed to healing at least 4 times now.
Miles: 20

Tues 7/5/2011: Mystic Valley Loop. Not too bad. 1 hr.
Miles: 16

Weds 7/6/2011: Legs kinda tired today. Mass Ave. up to Arlington HS and back. 40 minutes.
Miles: 10

Thur 7/7/2011: VO2 max intervals at Mystic River with Mikey, Chewie, and Eileen. 4 x 3km. Each one in about 4 minutes. HR at 180-185 max. No problem compared to track workouts! Felt easy, but legs were pretty toast at the end. Got a little lost on the way back through Slummerville and was 5 minutes late to group meeting. I then couldn't stay awake during the group meeting. Woops. The couch was too comfy! Oh well.
Miles: 30


Fri 7/8/2011: Raining. Nice but no riding, aside from the 3 mile commute to lab and back.
Miles: 0

Sat 7/9/2011: Out to concord and up to the top of Strawberry Hill Rd. 3 Hrs. Beautiful day, still hot but giving way to blue skies! Riding into the wind on the way out with a 20 mph tailwind on the way back. Feeling much stronger and was able to keep up HRs of 150+ for the last hour. I think I'm ready to do two endurance days next week. Went sailing with Rosen later on the Charles and nearly capsized a couple times in the wind. Lawl.
Miles: 43

Sun 7/10/2011: I was bored and it was a beautiful day(California beautiful!), so I decided to go for a ride again. Cambridge resevoir loop easy. 1 hr 55 minutes. Wow, that was a lot slower than when I do it with Stuart. Oh well. It was wayyyy too beautiful to pass on a that ride
Miles: 25
