Two Big(ger) Weeks of Workouts

The last 2 full weeks have had some good workouts. They both saw a jump in steps...

... and a solid jump in "intensity minutes" as well:

1804 last week, and 2001 the week before that!
(This current week is only counting through yesterday: Mon, Tues, and Wed.)

Here's what those 2 weeks looked like in my training log:

Those look like "normal" training weeks! I mean, I'm still feeling slow as shown by my slowest 5K in years a few days ago, but the training weeks are starting to look like they should!! That calendar shows 24:39 of training 2 weeks ago, and 22:47 last week (taking it easier on Saturday and Sunday because of the 5K on Monday). 22-some hours has been a "good normal" week since using this training log since December, and the 24-some hours from 2 weeks ago is my biggest week this year!

That bigger week 2 weeks ago was capped with my first interval workout in nearly 2 months, and then my longest bike ride in 17 years (and my hilliest ride on record). That ride alone maybe gave me an extra hour of training time that week. Rides like that don't happen too often! That was 104.2 miles of riding 2 weeks ago, and that was just across 3 rides with one of those being on my mountain bike! May is shaping up to be a decent month in the saddle!
