The wind wasn't so bad today, but I was still going into the wind on the return trip. I did a better job of pacing myself so I didn't feel like I was going to drop dead on the way back. I took the visor off my helmet today which made a world of difference. I didn't have to lift my head as far to see the road under the visor. On the bike ride I saw the COOLEST recumbent bike. I don't see one in my future in the next year, but I'm not sure I'll be able to resist forever. I tried to focus on my left leg today. It is the one with the knee that hurts when I bike. I tried to focus on keeping my ankle more at an angle. I noticed last ride that I was pointing that foot. I'm going to give that a try for a while and see if my knee starts feeling better. Today I noticed it, but it wasn't as bad as the last ride. It is frustrating for my body to be the limiting factor in my speed. I would like it to be something more controllable like my cardio fitness level.
The run was good. I was breaking in some new shoes and still managed to keep it under a 9:00 min mile. I didn't want to buy new shoes, but I'm still not ready to transition to the flats full time and I wore a hole on the inside of my regular trainers. I seemed to have some hot spots on the bottom of my feet, but I'm thinking that will go away as I wear them in. I saw two beautiful swans in the canal in the neighborhood.
