Ready for a Run?

There was no coached workout this weekend so a group of TnT members decided to do a bike ride on our own. The goals was to do 25 miles, the equivalent of the race. A mentor was leading the workout and he wanted to keep the group within close proximity so we decided to do a loop.

We met at Canada and Edgewood. We rode up to 92, and back just past the 280 overpass 3 times. This has got to be the worst section as far as scenery is concerned. I thought the ride was kinda boring but the ride felt good. I was surprised to be near the head of the pack this time. I was third and can only credit the bike. It was so much easier riding Joe's bike than my mtn bike.

When the ride was done, I wasn't even very tired. I didn't think I was ready for a 10K but I was feeling pretty confident that I could run some. A part of me thought I could put on my shoes and just see how far I could go, and the other part thought, "don't overdue it and hurt yourself." It seems to be a real struggle trying to figure out when to push myself and when to not...
