Good Weekends

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.
