Training and tilling

Though I did not manage an actual double workout this past weekend, I did, before my run Saturday, pull approximately 20 pounds of roots out of my backyard. I am trying to convert what used to be a sub-tropical botanic garden on steroids into a soft, green lawn where my daughter can play. I battled the roots all day, tilling the soil with a spade. The outcome of the fight was very much in doubt until late in the afternoon. I am happy to report that I prevailed. But my back is killin' me.

Numbers for last week.
Sunday: 26m ride
Monday: 4m tempo run
Wednesday: 30m ride
Thursday: 4m tempo run
Friday: ride 10 x 1/2m, 1/2m intervals
Saturday: 5m run
