An easy brick

Wow, I don't remember the last time I thought a brick was easy. Ok, so it was just an easy workout -- this is recovery week. It was also a birthday workout -- thanks, Coach, for making it so much fun.

Last night's workout was a 10 km ride followed by a 3 km run. The ride was a 2.5 km warm up followed by 1:00 at 80 RPM and 1:00 at 100 RPM for the next 7.5 km. The run was 4:00 easy, :30 hard for 3 km. The whole thing was so easy that when I finished, I didn't even feel like I'd really done a workout.

I guess that's how some workouts are meant to be. But I'm pretty certain that a year or two ago, I would have been sore for a week after that one. Sometimes, especially when I'm frustrated over a slow swim time or a bad run or whatever, it's really helpful to remember how far I've come.
