First run of the new year

Well, the taper has begun. Reduced mileage and moderate intensity for the next two weeks until race day. If it weren't for the jitteriness that taper-madness brings, this would be a nice time of year.

We've gotten a huge dump of snow over night, with more coming down during the day, so it was back to the treadmill. Nothing quite like running in place to make you ponder your place in the universe as you start a new year. :) Only six miles, easy pace, relaxed. Time to get set up for the Gator Bowl, as Tech looks to put a Texas-sized whuppin' on UVA.

Run: 3 miles @ 145 bpm, 3 miles @ 150 bpm

Good stuff.

I was inside yesterday too. After the disaster in the lab, I did some nice tempo/endurance work to burn through my bad mood while watching Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (excellent documentary).

Tonight is an easy ride and then tomorrow I'm planning on hitting the CTS Climbing video.

That's the best way to deal with a bad mood. Metal and bike riding.

Enjoy the CTS Climbing vid. That might get you ready for when you tackle the Pyrenees RLV.
