Tuesday March 11th - Great Brick workout
Met Mira @ the RAB ... for a Brick workout ... after a warmup we did 2 x 3 mile intervals with 5 x 30/30(s) before and after each 3 mile interval ... My power averaged 350 watts for each of the 15 - 30/30(s) and averaged 280 watts for the 2 x 3 mile intervals.  After the intervals, we had just enough time to get a quick 4 mile run in.  By running a 7:45 pace I was able to keep Mira in sight.    

Wednesday March 12th - The 1st 80 degree day of the year
Met Bill @ the SUB for and easy JRA cruise.  We hit a couple of hard efforts ... but mostly just soaking up the warm sunny air.  Saw a lot of friends out and talked to the Bartons at the Ski Lake (little did we know that in 10 days this area would be under 5 feet of water).

Thursday March 13th - Early morning long runFGSG ride
I met Marianne & Drew at Cooks for an early morning long run ... The weather was sunny and not so cold for a change ... The pace was pretty easy for the 1st half of the run with lots of chit-chat ... but on the way back ... we picked up the pace to work some up the higher heart rate zones.  My pace for the miles 8 & 9 was in the low 7 minute pace territory ... which is pretty hard for me ... especially after already running 7 miles ... after 10 miles we found someone to take a group photo and then the fun had to end as it was time to go to work ...

Thursday March 13th - FGSG ride
Pat had a "Bunco Party" ... so I went to do an easy ride with FGSG (Fast Girls Slow Guys) ... but there was no slow group ... so I switched gears and jumped in for some quick/hard efforts ... ALMOST hit a squirrel at about 29 mph ... which would have been more excitement than I was lookin' for ...

After the quick (45 minute) ride ... we just beat the incoming storm ... then Jerry & I went to American Pie for some Pizza ... then Jenn & Robb joined us for some cycling chit chat ...
