Brick

Nothing beats starting off a Monday with a Brick.  I got on the bike after work and spent 30 min. at a steady clip.  The weather was cold outside, but since I recently turned on the heat in the house, the basement was freaking hot!  I kept my HR between 130 and 140, but spent some time in the 145 range.  I was extremely thirsty and killed about 3/4 bottle of gatorade.  I think I also sweated it all out! I then headed out into the weather for a light run.  Thankfully the first evening of snow only lasted about 1/2 hour and the roads were just a bit wet.  I bundled up and did my 30 min. run around the reservoir.  Kept the HR between 140-145 on the run, but it did creep up to 150ish.  It always seems to spike once I get going, but settles down after about 5 min.  Feeling good, but looking forward to tomorrow's day of rest!
