Well my planned 2 week hiatus from the bike was cut short last week. I think I made it to about 10 days before I was about to go completely crazy, so I'm now riding again. I'm also running quite a bit (at least quite a bit for me) since at this point I'll be doing a few half marathons this spring. I thought it would be a fun change of pace, but now I'm somewhat regretting signing up since I want to run enough to prepare myself to get a decent time, I want to bike enough to get a solid base in and be fit enough to do some mountain bike races this spring and summer, and I want to avoid doing too much and making myself suck at everything from overtraining. I just don't know if balancing everything is possible, but I guess triathletes are doing a lot more than I am and getting away with it so maybe I can do the same. Honestly I've always thought triathlons sounded fun, but I don't think they allow doggy paddling in the swimming portion so I guess those are out for me.
My current plan is to continue getting faster than normal base miles in for the next week or so and then dial the miles back and intensity up for a week since I'll be doing the second Wintery Mix CX series race on 2/3. I'm assuming the fields will be smaller than I'm used to, but since cross is my favorite I'm just trying to stretch the season out as long as possible. Then back to running and riding a lot.
