Today was an off day from the bike. I so look forward to these as it gives me a chance to run. Today I did an intense hill interval workout. Was able to get my heart rate to between 140 and 152 bpm during the workout. Ran a total of 5 miles and really enjoyed it. Back is a little tight from the run and my quads are sore from the leg lifts I did yesterday. But all in all, I am getting to where I want to be.
The next two weeks are going to be tough to keep up the mileage. Going on a mini vacation with friends from Israel so I will not have my bike for 3 days. Will try and run two of the days. I have been putting in the miles the last four weeks so an easy week would be welcomed. Suppose to rain tomorrow but I have to go out on an easy ride and on Thursday I will go for a long ride.

About Me
- Phil Benson
- I am 64 years old and have been a visionary my whole life. I saw Frank Shorter win the Olympics in 1972, and I said I want to run a marathon. Since then I have run 50. I watched the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii on TV and I said I want to do that. 3 years later I finished the Iron man in Hawaii. I was 45 at the time. I watched all of the Tour de France this year,2009,and I said I want to do that. Unable to compete in the Tour, I will do the same miles they do on the same days in July. Can I do it? The saying goes "Man can achieve what the mind can conceive".
