After horrible legs yesterday, I rode 90min at noon (hotter then hell) and felt fricking great! Rode 28 some miles at 18.5 and was able to zip up all the hills. Then I mowed the yard and weedwacked and at 6pm ran 70min, ~7.5 miles. Bec dropped me off at the end of the greenway and took Nick to the Bark Park to frolic with random dogs (no humping was involved), so I finished my run at the park. Worked well. I mixed in 1 harder session (3:30 at 5k race pace) above LT and 3- 30sec walking spots to get HR down. I ran "easy" but it was tough to keep my HR down in the heat and humidity, even though it was shady and cloudy. Basically I ran to keep my HR down as best as I could, so distance wasn't there, but time running was.
Ended up running 3:10 this week, tallying about 20 miles. Mostly because I missed my long run last weekend and ran 1hr on Monday.
Might ride with a local group (just found out about) tonight, but sometimes it is a hammerfest and I need recovery. We'll see.
About Me
- Scott Somershoe
- I am originally from near Philadelphia, PA and attended college at Millersville University. After college, I moved to Statesboro, GA where I got my Master's in Biology at Georgia Southern University. I lived and worked in the southeast for 17 years before moving to Colorado in 2015. I work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as land bird coordinator for the Mountain-Prairie Region. I help support conservation and research on declining birds like Sprague's Pipit, Thick-billed and Chestnut-collared Longspurs, Baird's Sparrow, and Pinyon Jay. My wife and I have a daughter in 3rd grade (2020-21) and twin boys who turned 4 in Nov 2020. I periodically get out my guitar and play songs until the kids complain, which doesn't take too long.
