saturday brick

did just over 60 miles saturday....starting out on south mopac doing a loop...then heading out to bee caves via south west parkway/71...then back via 360, south west parkway...to do anther couple loops on south mopac...i like the bee caves ride...lots of good down hills to practice staying aero...a few good climbs...with some rollers thrown in there...was able to keep my average up at about 18...trying to push it a little on the mopac loops...

then off the bike to run for 45 minutes...i was just going to do a run by time...and that's what i did..but it didn't turn out exactly as i thought...so a while ago we did a run off the bike in the same neighborhood...and i made it from where we park to slaughter and back in the time given...so i figured that if i just ran down slaughter to mopac and back again i would be fine for time...nope...not enough...so i ran down escarpment the other way for a while then turned and headed back again...

i find it harder to run and get into a rhythm when i keep having to adjust my plan...guess it just makes me distracted and not focused on where i am in terms of running...

all in all it was a good day on and off the bike...had a nice afternoon with j...actually did something called "relaxing" for a little while with a glass of wine on the porch in the late afternoon...made a nice dinner together...and i was in bed by 9 (yes!)...while j went over to matt's house...
