Nice run

First of all, kitty vomit on the carpet isn't a pleasant thing to come home to after a workout.

Also, I used to go to Chipotle a lot after workouts because there food is good and I thought it was healthy. Well, go to Chipotle Lovers and plug in your typical burrito and see what you find out.

I went for a nice run today. It was suppose to be somewhat chilly but the weather was great for running. Somewhere in the high 40's but warmed up to the high 50's in about an hour. I did 6.1 miles in 57:06 for about a pace of 9:20. I definitely run slower at Town Lake because of the crushed gravel trail. I felt like I was running much faster than 9:20min/mile though. It's frustrating because I used to do 8:00min/mile for 10 miles with an avg HR of about 150-155bpm. Today's avg HR was 145bpm with a max of 162. However, it felt like my heart rate was 150+ bpm for a long time. I felt fine though. I'm still a little sore from the tough workout on Thursday though. As usual, my left piriformis was cramping afterwards. Sucks. I need to do some work with my TP Massage ball today.

I bought a Strassburg sock yesterday to help out with my left heel and Achilles issues. I slept with it on for about an hour last night and I then I took it off. It was just weird with it on. Maybe I'll get used to it eventually.

One thing that I forgot to mention yesterday. I really noticed the difference in bike components on my ride. On my road bike, I have Shimano 105 components but on my tri bike, I have Ultegra. When I was shifting under strenuous load on my road bike, it didn't shift very smoothly at all sometimes.

Odwalla has a new flavor of bars called Strawberry Pomegranate. Very tasty.

Shoe mileage: 160 miles

Ha! Yeah right Chipolte is healthy. We used to go for steak burritos during work, and we would refer to it as a "Chipolte bomb" because it literally bombs your digestive system.

One funny thing about Chipolte's website- they have an online dating thing where you can plug in exactly what burrito you get, and will set you up with someone who gets the same kind :)
