Last week I took a "staycation" from work and was able to get in some really solid training sessions. I ran and lifted weights twice and did a 15 mile ride on my rarely-used "back-up" bike (a Specialized Sirrus hybrid with straight, moutain-bike style handlebars). Yesterday the better half and I headed into Manhattan for a marathon rollerblading session on the West Side bike path. We started at 39th Street, went as far north as we could (a block south of 200th Street), and then turned around and headed back down to 14th Street. I estimate all in all we probably rollberbladed about 17-18 miles, which would not have been too bad, except for the fact we had a pretty light breakfast, so by the end were barely moving. Lesson learned, but still a good cross training workout. Today I hit the treadmill at lunch for 30 minutes at 7:19 per mile pace, which felt perfectly fine. Oh, and I did receive my new bicycle frame in the mail last Friday. I am excited to see how the bike turns out -- it should be ready sometime this week.
