Terry's schedule has some optional speed work that can be substituted for some of the shorter mile days. I have done some of the speed workouts but not all. Sometimes making the time to get the running done has been a factor.
This weekend we are visiting Amber's brother in Oregon. The schedule called for 8 miles on Friday and 14 on Saturday. I ended up running the 14 miles on Friday and on Saturday Amber and Jim and I took a bike ride. I ended up doing about 40 miles. We all rode together from Jim's place in Central Point (on the north side of Medford) to Ashland. We ate lunch in Ashland and then I rode back to Jim's place and drove down and picked up Amber and Jim. I tried to push the ride back to Jim's. There was a brutal headwind and at times when I checked my watch I thought to myself, "I could run this fast". I ended up averaging about 15 mph. My legs are feeling it a bit today. I may try to work in some more biking. I've read that cross-training is good. It is definitely another set of muscles. I'll see how my legs feel for running tomorrow. I'm supposed to do 10 miles.
