3.1/3.2 Weekend

This was supposed to be the end of a  recovery week.  I'm a little off based on my trip to Minnesota to see my daughter last weekend.  Mainly missed a long bike ride last weekend.  The 3 hour Saturday ride was to be accompanied with a 30 minute run brick.  My ride ended up going 3:15:00 due to a heavy headwind at the turnaround.  Felt like climbing a hill for an hour and a half.  When I got home, I threw on my running shoes and started my run.  10 minutes easy, 10 minutes moderate, and 10 minutes hard.  That last 10 minutes was rough.  I couldn't get out in the morning.  I had some errands Saturday morning so the ride and run was late in the afternoon.  I didn't have a lot of time to recover before my Sunday run.  It was 82 degrees on Saturday but a front came through overnight and the morning temps were around 29 degrees falling throughout the day with sleet coming as well.  The Sunday trail run was rough.  Flats and downhill were fine.  Climbing the steep sections was miserable.  We fought through it and ended up right at the 80 minutes in the plan.  I felt pretty trashed after Sunday.
