Marathon Training Day Two: Cross Training

Today was the first day of cross training. It felt great to be back on my bike again! I technically was only suppose to ride for 30 minutes, but it felt so great to be riding again, I couldn't stop.
I ended up cycling for over an hour. I told myself that if I kept going after the 30 minutes I would just go super light and easy.... Of course that didn't happen; I kept being an over competitive asshole. I would a lot someone in the distance and push myself to catch up to and then pass each and every person on the path.

My competitive nature is of course good to a point, but sometimes I should probably learn to scale it back. At least for certain moments of training.
