Not a bad tune up

I am running at about 80% heading into Wildflower.
- I trained poorly
- Was sick 2 weeks out
- Didn't swim, bike, or run nearly enough for my liking
- And have a few sore spots in my legs for no apparent reason

All of that being said, I had a pretty good confidence boosting ride
last night. I rode out to Niles Canyon and after 40 min I did a good
(not super hard) ride up Palomares. 20-21 min, on a TT bike, with
heavy wheels? Pretty strong if I do say so myself. Check the stats

Feeling a tad better about myself for this weekend. But can I run?
