In the middle

I'm in the middle of an easy week and it came just in time. The pulled muscle healed well enough for me to do a long run with some of the students, and to do a hellacious bike ride from the downtown area. So, today I did a good hour on the exercise bike and that felt just about right. I tried a few jumps and the hip flexor went along pretty well and I felt that I could do some fair fast running when the time comes. i think I'll try a little up tempo in the next few days and hope I don't get too far behind in the lactate threshold area, although I am not attaching the greatest of importance to that quality of workout in this microcycle.
