Last weekend I had a great weekend with my walking. I did 4 miles since I had increased mileage during the week per my schedule. It was supposed to be at a brisk pace. I did 3 sub-16 minute miles, which for me, is excellent. Then I had a pretty good bike ride on Sunday.
I had a good weekend this weekend as far as my training goes. I did 6.77 miles on Saturday with and average pace of 16:28. That's well within what I need to finish the RNR in the 4 hour time limit. In fact I kept getting fussed at by my Garmin that I needed to slow down. I have the pace limits set up at 15 and 20 minutes. I have 5 weeks to go until the RNR and right now, I think I'm going to do pretty well. But I haven't hit brand new territory as far as distance goes yet. I will hit that when I hit 10 miles.
Today I rode 22.4 miles in a little less than 1.5 hours. That was a 15.4 mph average. I have been gradually been bringing my speed up over the last month as I'm going longer distances. I think part of it is due to getting more miles on straight road and out of the neighborhoods. I will have to start planning some more routes though. Today I rode the length of Baily Road. I'm basically going from one end of Pearland to the other.
Next weekend I will do 8 miles walking, then I get on an airplane to go to Atlanta. I don't know what that will do to my training schedule, but I will try to get some bike time in and I will have to get some walking in. Fortunately the Saturday I'm there will be a 6 miler which is twice around the lake.
