Burr! It was cold this morning. Took off on a short 2.25 mile run to the YMCA. Ran this in 19:00 for 8:26 pace. My lungs were freezing. It was cold, but towards the end I was warmed up and ready to go. However, I was at the Y to get some endurance lifting in.
At the Y I completed one round of the following workout. I completed them all except #1 as I could not remember what to do. This was a tough workout. I am still sore from the workout on Monday.

After this workout I picked up my bike from a friend who was nice enough to buy this bike for me. Well, I am going to pay him back, but while I was out in San Diego last week this bike popped up on Craigslist. It is my size and was selling for $80. It is a 2003 Fuji. Not a bad deal. I have been looking for a bike to begin my training for triathlons.
I thought it was cold running. It was freezing riding this bike. I put on a light on my head so cars would not hit me as it was still pitch black out. It felt good to be on the bike. I have some serious learning to do about switching gears, when to switch gears, hand position, body position, etc. The gear shifters are down below and not on the handlebars so I have to get used to that as well. However, it was a good smooth ride that has me excited about my goal training and completing a triathlon.
Overall, it was a hodgepodge of a day with running, lifting, and biking. Not a bad way to start a Wednesday.
