Week 1: 5K PR and Maiden Mountain Biking Voyage

Week 1 in Review: 5K PR and Mountain Biking

• January 1: 5K PR at Resolution Run in Magnuson Park!  7:22 pace = 22:53
• January 2: First time mountain biking at St. Edwards Park in Kirkland.  I went out too fast and had no idea how to handle my bike and bit it while crossing a wet wooden path.  I got a nice puncture wound on my left hip (saw my insides for the first time!) - but luckily didn't realize this until the end of the ride, so it didn't stop me too much - and a new hematoma on my left leg, just above my knee on my quad.  This means that I won't be running for at least a couple days, and won't be swimming until the would heals - maybe a week.
• Training goal this week: heal
• January 5: Started running again after two full days of allowing my mountain biking wound to heal.  I took it easy, doing a 60 min run, mostly easy.  I did 10 min at goal marathon pace at the end of the workout, and felt good.  I think I can pick things up next week, back to 85% of normal volume and intensity.
