Cold Toes
The workout today was an hour on the trainer or if weather permitting up to 2 hours outside. The current temp at 6:00am was minus 3. But I could not face that trainer!! So, I took my mountain bike out for just over an hour. The actual workout was supposed to be an easy spin, keeping my cadence at around 85-90 and my heart rate low, no higher than 132ish. Done. Felt GREAT to be outside!! That is until my toes froze. The good news is that my "transition" was literally about 13 seconds!! Bike into the garage, helmet off and away I go for my run. 30 minutes in total with the first 20 minutes straight off the bike at my steady state heart rate. JP's instructions were get off the bike and start the run immediately at that higher heart rate, no warm up as legs should be warmed up from the bike. No problem. I was surprised how awesome I felt off the bike and ran the 20 minutes right in where I was supposed to be. But I could not feel my toes for about half the run. Met a couple of guys on their way to the Roastery, so we finished the last 10 minutes or so together. On the agenda today, clean my car...with hauling two kids around, we could seriously live in there for a week with the food that has been left behind. ewwy!!
