010209 - Brick

Friday evening I did a brick and felt great doing it.  I biked indoors on the trainer for 1 hour and then headed out for a hard 30 minute run.  I kept my HR to around 135-140 on the bike and then went outside for a 4.2 mile run around the reservoir.  Now the plan said to run at a 10K pace so I hit the road and went pretty fast.  I averaged about 7:15 minute miles and saw my HR stay between 165 and 175.  Honestly, though, it was up near 175 for a good portion of the time.  It felt good to cut loose and see how fast I could run the loop (went around twice) and I felt really good after the run.  Thankfully, I didn't kill myself and was still able to manage two workouts on the following day.
