Not much going on

Well, I feel bad since I went out with A1 and A2 on Nov. 22 and didn't write anything about it.  We went out on a mountain bike ride in Annadel at 7 in the morning which is quite cold.  It was great to be out there and I showed the two of them a couple of new trails.  A1 had his Garmin along and he sent me this link.  We ended up going about 20 miles in two hours.  My average heart rate was almost 170. 

Yesterday I ran for the first time in a while.  It felt great.  I just ran for an hour around the Scenic loop while Claire walked.  My heart rate monitor was going crazy, so it showed an average heart rate of over 200.  I was taking it pretty easy, so I know it wasn't close to that.  It was chilly outside.  We went out and got our Christmas tree afterwards. 

I went down the basement this afternoon and rode the rollers for an hour.  I did my favorite workout of 5 minutes hard, 3 minutes easy, 5 hard, 3 easy, 4 hard, 3 easy, 4 hard, 3 easy, 3 hard, 2 easy, 3 hard, 2 easy, 2 hard, 1 easy, 2 hard, 1 easy, 1 hard, 1 easy, 1 hard, and 1 easy.  I worked on raising my heart rate by 5 bpm as each interval got shorter.  I started at 175 for the 5 minute hards.  The workout went by fast.
