(talk about a hard way to gather your thoughts), i went back and forth in my head as to if i should run off the bike and within 3 miles from home, my "smart" coach thinking won over my "stubborn" athlete thinking and i decided that since that bike had nothing to do with im training, it would be best to scratch the run off the bike. however, although the mistake was made, i was still able to think of plan b. water jog. so i hoped in the complex pool for a refreshing 20 minute water jog as it was much kinder on my body than pounding the pavement
