Yesterday I had a long day at work, but once I got home I jumped on the trainer for 90 minutes.  Max sent me an email that day giving me a hard time for "going off the reservation" and noted that I may be falling into the common error of working too hard on my recovery days.  So I put on a movie (Stepbrothers) and took it easy for the long ride.  Despite my more casual approach, I was surprised to see that after the long workout, I maintained an average HR of 138, maintain an average cadence of 89 RPMs, and averaged almost 18 mph.  It was good to take it easier and I was happy to get through it because my legs were pretty tight from the lifting.
