The long lost brick

Up at 4:40 AM. Abs and pushups then out the door for a 25 minute run. The weather was perfect, 53 degrees and a little drizzle. My legs feel incredibly strong and the Newton shoes do make me feel like I can run forever--if only I can get rid of my foot and sciatic pain.

Once I returned home I hopped on the bike for an hour, 20 minutes of which was spent doing one legged drills. I hit my zones today without effort, obviously the run makes that helpful.

I did try out a new Selle seat today. It is nearly perfect. The seat fits my sits bones perfectly and holds you in position well but the nose I was hoping to get out of this cheaply but I think I have to opt for a $180 seat. You can suffer for 20-50 miles but when you are going to be on your bike for 6 hours, you don't want anything screaming back at you. Thus, a near $200 investment in comfort makes sense.

Tomorrow, the weight room and then an evening swim with the Masters. I may, emphasis on may, run to the gym for good measure.
