Christina and I had our 2nd son last Thurs, July 3. We're calling him Bubba. He was born 30 minutes shy of the 4th-- how very unpatriotic of the little fella. Things are pretty hectic, of course. Lack of sleep, etc, etc. This is a running blog, so I won't go into detail, but suffice it to say that the quality of my workouts has suffered. Ha. I haven't done anything remotely like exercising since Thursday or self-absorbed like writing in this blog. I should be doing work related stuff right now, but I feel compelled to blab here a bit.
The last few weeks I've had a few highlights-- did the Shoal Creek loop in 8:56, 23.5 mph average and 20.1 mph average for the entire ride. I've *never* averaged over 20 mph for any bike ride. I did a 400m on a whim while returning a DVD and clocked 1:27, and it felt OK. Did a 55 mile bike ride the Sunday before last, and that previous week I logged 16 miles running-- 4 workouts, 4 miles each. I feel like I could throw a 5 miler in there and be totally OK. It's just hard to run more than 4 times a week and bike 3 times a week. And of course now, it's hard to do anything at all. I expect that I'll be exercising more after dark now that Bubba is here-- and I guess that means running more, biking less.
