So, Friday (Day #3) was our "rest day" and we enjoyed our night off in the company of Jarrod's father, Mr. Tom. We had a nice dinner out, a few delicious beers, and watched some hockey playoffs (Go Bruins!!) Our night off was nice, but I was excited for Saturday's cross-training!
Saturday (Day #4) we planned on taking our bikes out for the first time together. Jarrod has done a really nice job creating an incremental training plan that includes our schedule and goals. He had to create a custom schedule due to the fact we only had a month to train! Well, over the course of the next 4 weeks, we will be building up our endurance not only to run further, but to bike further as well, ultimately biking 12 miles before race day.
Week 1 we had set a goal to bike 6 miles around town, and did just that. We actually exceeded our goal, going 6.72 miles in 41:22 minutes. We biked around the neighborhood, going towards M&T Bank Stadium, and even past a part of the Color Run course. We looped back around and headed to Carroll Park and biked around there for a while, even going up a pretty serious hill that nearly killed me lol.
Notes:
- We may want to invest in new bike seats, because although we felt good overall (muscles were not achy), our tushes were quite sore!
- We decided to stay in a gear to make sure we were peddling most of the time we were out there to work ourselves harder.
- We figured out how to put Jarrod's bike rack on his car (thanks to our lovely neighbors Chris & Angela for the help!) so now we can take our bikes to local trails, like BWI, next time.
- Probably going to wear sunglasses from now on, since Jarrod had a bug decide to fly right into his eye! YUCK!
