Weeks 3 and 4

The Thanksgiving holiday threw my schedule off a bit, so here's my progress for the previous two weeks.

Week 3
We traveled to New Mexico on Wednesday night to see my mother for Thanksgiving. We also saw some friends, and ran a 5K Turkey Trot on Thursday. I missed a few workouts, but had a good time.

Sunday
Quick run, was late to hit road (2.33 mi; 20:23; 8:46 min/mi)

Totals:

Bike (two workouts; 17 mi; 1h 05 min)
Run (four workouts; 17 mi; 2h 25min)

Thoughts: numbers were down, but that was expected with the holiday and this being a recovery week.

Bike (two workouts; 17 mi; 1h 05 min)
Run (five workouts; 36 mi; 4h 58min)

Thoughts: A couple times a needed to get miles in, so I just sucked it up, and headed out. Boring on the treadmill, but workouts needed to get done. Long run felt good. Again, I need to wake up and get the work in before hand. Also, with the weather turning, I'd like to get on a bike trainer.
