    Excellent effort, @wendsg! You are running in high gear this week. Until your legs fall off, of course

    Did 7.9 miles between last night and this morning. Hoping to get in a longer ride tonight, but we'll see how the day goes.

    @billbiggers06 Thanks! I’ve been trying to get my running form down a bit more solidly during these times when my back isn’t giving me issues and my knees are mostly behaving. It seems to be paying off - while I’m nowhere near the shape of my antiquated race days, I can pound out a 5k without issue, and a surprise!10k isn’t intimidating. 1/2 marathons still require some planning and self-hyping, though :lol:

    And belated Happy Mother’s Day to those to whom it applies! Forgot to log (and give that statement) yesterday due to obligations with the family. Catching up on the logging today.

    Ride 1 - 12.00 miles <- Zwift workout ride, 5/12
    Ride 2 - 11.99 miles <- Zwift race, 5/13

    Ride 4 - 19.00 miles <- Zwift event ride, 5/13

    One ride today, but it was a very pleasant one. Group ride in Zwift for the Ride like King celebration, milage towards the World Bicycle Relief's efforts thanks to donations by Giant. Great cause to ride for, and great company to ride with today on Zwift.

    Only thing on the schedule for today (5/20) was a race, and that's over and done with. Think I'm going to try and get my monthly 1/2 marathon done - but if I don't find the time for that, at least a 5k!

    Today was a swim day, and weather supported taking the bike to the pool. Throw in a long meetup with a rather sizable climb for a great day on the trainer.

    Finished the Zwift Training Plan I was doing today. Won't be starting the next one until the end of July, due to the fact that it's 6 weeks long and I would fail to finish due to summer vacation obligations. :wink: Guess it'll be self-selected workouts and free-rides until then!

    @RMUNTZ2 It's the 'Atomic Cruiser' - basically the greatest joke bike Zwift has ever produced outside of the April Fool big-wheel. It was the 'grand prize' during the Zwift Big Spin event - that's also where those colorful tri-spoke disc wheels come from. Statistically it's a boat - the only bike that's less aerodynamic and heavier than this beast is the Buffalo Bike! Hence why I adore it - not only is it ridiculous looking, it slows me down considerably in Zwift which makes it a more effective training platform. I have to push much harder to keep the pace I want to maintain. 👍

    Forgot to log yesterday's ride - it was the conclusion of the Zwift Spring Training workouts (and it was HARD gah - 18 minutes of forced high (for me) cadence... twice... with only a 4 minute break between those chunks of time? Please saw my legs off and order me replacements). Today as I had nothing on the docket, it was time to tackle a climb portal ride. I've already done 125% on the monthly offering, but not on the rotating offering, so 125% on Cote de Trebiac was in order. Fun times!

    Ride 1 - 18.00 miles <- 5/23 Spring Training
    Ride 2 - 10.00 miles <- 5/24 Climb Portal
