10.2 mile DC loop with LoGain. Pace was laxi taxi and I needed a good ez recovery run. Felt pretty spent this morning. A good sign. I hate going into a race feeling amazing and then feeling flat on race day. I'd much rather feel trashed in the days prior and  have my legs show up for the race.

22.2 mile bike ride this afternoon. Hit the full new airport loop with a little extension in LV at the end. Kept the pace honest if not hard. Felt good to get out and ride in the sun. 61F. The legs feel good but I can tell that I don't have the same biking legs I had last summer. 21.1 mph avg.

4 mile on the treadmill after the ride. Just enough to loosen things up and remind the legs that running is still the goal right now.

Burt- the STG half.

Thanks Jake. Everyone keeps saying that to me.... Just hard to "go" after no real races for 20 months.
