I was originally debating between keeping with the scheduled 4.5 miles, or maybe going to 4.75 or so, since last week was 4.3. Considering the bike ride was longer than anticipated, I settled on 4.5 for this week. It was pretty much the same loop as last week, but with the end farther up the street than before. I also made more of a conscious effort to go a bit slower and easier, since the primary purpose is building up mileage rather than increasing speed.

A few days after, I seem in better shape this time around than I was at this time last week. Last week things were a bit tight around the IT band, but still not painful. This time, with some stretching after the bike, and some stretching after the run, as well as a couple yoga practices - things feel as though they weren't strained at all this past weekend.
