Nice.
I was dragging a bit this morning but slowly got it in my head that I wanted to exercise on the Howe Street stairs so I went upstairs to tell Shelley and turns out she needed the car in two hours. Time's a wastin'!
I was hoping to get in a solid hour today and I managed it. At first my legs were pretty lethargic and heavy from yesterday but after four flights I was in the grove and kept it super steady all the way to the end. In fact, looking at my GPS data below it seems I went faster today than I ever have in recent memory? By just a couple of seconds per flight anyway.
As a bonus I saw my friend Thom Wagner on the stairs! Turns out he had gone to our gym which is supposed to open at 8:00 AM but the host was late. Undaunted he turned to Plan B and came out to play on Howe Street. Way to go Thom.
Today I was hitting it 'pane e acqua' as they say in professional bike racing. What that meant for me today is I was venturing out without music. I know! But it was actually a pretty good call. I did look at my watch a bit too much but it was nice not to have the same old mix blaring in my ears for a change.
Usually when I say I have drunk a large bottle during this workout I don't really quite finish it but today I did drain it all the way. I think that is a good thing. I think in general I need to hydrate more when I exercise and when I'm not exercising.
