Today's workout

Rise and shine at 4:25 am.

60 minutes on the bike--that's inside, of course, on a trainer with a Spinerval DVD (Spinervals 2.0 to be exact). I like that DVD, it has some one legged drills that are great for building
the hip flexor.

Immediately after, I headed outside for a 45 minute run. The run included 5 acceleration sets where I speed up for a few minutes to get up to or above my anaerobic threshold of 164--unscientifically that is when you heart feels like it is beating outside your chest and will explode at any minute. A few moderate hills today, tiny bit of ice to watch out for, but all things considered a mild 33 degree day. I was pressed for time today so I'll have to hit my abs this evening.
