Recovery Day 1

At work today.

Foot pain isn't better, but at least it's not worse.

Recumbent Bike:
14.3 miles
60:00
14.3 mph

Workout:
Upper-Body

Yeah, you read that right... I lifted weights today! Felt good to lift, although I need to find a consistent rhythm in the gym.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining. I've been bummed about the weight gain, but it has motivated me to get my ass back in the gym.

My longest run was 14 miles, but I ran double digits for the 6 weekends leading up to the race.

For the last three months I have tried to include a minimum of 2-hours of cardi 6 days a week. Many days exceed 4-hours cardio, which included my hike up Guadalupe Peak and another day when I biked 50-miles from Splendora to Conroe.

Biking is simply a part of my "cardio workout" and part of my daily grind.

As you can see, I ran this race with heart determination... and not so much my brain.
