Breaking the 4 minute mile

As it turns out, I was sick last week.  I couldn't figure out why I felt bad.  At first, I thought it was my diet.  Then, I thought I was just overtired and dehydrated.  But, then there was a tickle in my throat.  By Friday, I was starting to feel better.  On Saturday, I felt fine other than the cough I'd developed.  Now, I'm just getting over this cough and feeling just fine.

Monday was Memorial Day.  Amateur day  for atheletes on the Greenline.  I braved the out of shape cyclists who don't understand the rules of the road (You see me coming.  I'm staying on my side of the trail yet you won't move over.  What is wrong with you?)

I did a quick 10 mile ride.  In fact, I did the quickest 10 mile ride I've done (under 50 minutes).  I'm taking Mondays as speed work day for a while. My goal?  Do a 10-13 mile ride in a new best time with 1 mile of it under 4 minutes.
