A real quick update

After a week of easy rides I'm back to training. Yes!!! And I think I'm pretty much recovered. Proper recovery time is super important and something I used to be horrible at. Thank goodness for my coach. If it weren't for her, I would be overtraining all of the time. I always think that I'm recovered WAY before I really am. 

Anyways, yesterday I had a nice 3 hour ride on the road with some 20 minute L4 intervals. They were a wake-up call, let me tell you. My legs felt pretty rusty and I had a hard time holding any sort of power. By the end I was a swerving, pot-hole hitting, sweaty mess. Even though I didn't feel great, I'm really glad to be back to this type of training. I guess I kind of got addicted to intervals over the winter :-)

And speaking of winter....it's already a distant memory. After months of pure icy torture, Michigan is shooting out day after day of perfect weather and I'm all, "Michigan weather is the best!" Today temps are supposed to reach the 70's and I have a 3 hour mountain bike scheduled. 

Hence the short post. Time to go ride my bike!
