#masonloop

Today’s #wednesdayworkout #crosstrainingworkout was a #brickworkout. I got the old #litespeedroadbike out and took advantage of empty roads, spinning my way over to @georgemasonu to cycle the #masonloop then after getting back to #mantuava I hopped off the bike, did a quick shoe change and ran a mile. I used to do these little bricks a lot, and I feel like I need to get back to them. Who knows, maybe I’ll even talk myself into doing another #duathlon. #runblr #fitblr #bikeblr #basebuilding #roadcycling #streetcycling (at Fairfax, Virginia)

I can’t lie, it’s been 💩 💩 💩 day. But running turns any day around. Grateful for my running tribe. Good to hook up at @runpacers #oldtownfairfax for the Thursday night #masonloop run. Did another #demorun in the @hokaoneone Rincon. Better result than last time. If I was still running marathons I’d definitely consider it as my race day shoe. Good balance between cushy and bouncy. #runblr #fitblr #summerrunning #offseasonbreak #mastersxcrunner #richmondhalfmarathon #usatfmastersxcchampionships (at Pacers Running Fairfax) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DLmalHYJ7/?igshid=1bnrg82gb3fas

What an amazing day to be outside - 70°, sunny, no humidity, a light breeze. I live for days like this. I did another easy long run, but added in just enough distance to make it a perfect 13.12 miles. It was a slow half marathon for me at 2:00 but this is all about aerobic development. Those red blood cells I’m building now will be amped up and ready to go when I enter a speed cycle later. I finished the week with 33 miles of running and 36 miles of cycling. This coming week, I finally get to swim again, too. Our neighborhood pool is reopening just slightly as part of Phase I. There are special rules to follow, only so many people can be in the pool at once, and you have book an hour in advance. But it’s a start. And now it’s beer time. #runblr #fitblr #springrunning #longrun #masonloop #danielsrunpark #fairfaxcityva (at Fairfax, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3ZSb2H9zo/?igshid=1c0bqq5szgjkf
