I just can't keep up with this blog the way I'd like to. I need to start putting it as a task on my to do list, then I might get it done.
For a quick update, I have my new bike...have ridden it only on the trainer so far. I am adjusting to the new position, but did 1.5 hrs earlier this week, almost entirely in the aero tuck without any severe discomfort. I feel like the numbness sets in quicker with the more aero position, but if I shift a little on the seat relatively often (every 10 mins or so) it works itself out temporarily. Even while sitting stationary on the trainer, it feels fast...so that's exciting.
I will add pictures, I promise, and people can look at my position and make comments if they feel the need, although I would be hesitant to make changes right now, since I have a good deal of faith in the shop where I had my fitting done.
My diet is still coming along...I'm down about 12-15lbs (fluctuating) since November and can feel the difference, especially with my running. I've been in kind of a run focus since I'm going for a new PR 1/2 marathon at the end of April, and have been killing the runs. My speedwork days are fun, and I've gotten 5.1 miles done at sub-race pace (7:15/mile) already along with being up to 8(ish) miles for my long run, and I'm still over two months out. My slow, steady run days are much faster than they used to be. I'm usually around 7:45-7:50/mile for my long runs...which has been my race pace in the past. It's good to see progress, especially since I've been running for 8 years now.
That was a decent enough update on the fly. More soon (hopefully)
