Made it out of bed and was running by 6:00 a.m.  Went 5.0 miles in just over an hour.  Even ran in the drizzle.

One hour plus run this morning.  During my last run it was all pain and I felt lousy.  Took a couple of days off and today I felt great.  Still strong at the end of the run and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.  Now I hope that carries over to my swim.

Sun? What's this "sun" you speak of? We've had almost 2 inches of rain since midnight and more on the way. I have a tri tomorrow and this rain is making my lake colder. Dislike! Today I have a 20/10 briquette scheduled, but I'm not committed to it. Mostly, I need to grade papers, tidy up around the house and pack for tomorrow.

I got nothing! Good Yanti! There shall be no spankings today.

However, I am at my parents' house, which is enormous, and the number of times I've gone up and down the (large, spiral) staircase and across and around the house all adds up to a fair (but not excessive) amount of activity.

That's so funny, my girls/dogs and I got out to our favorite trail and I realized I didn't have my sunglasses...haven't needed them for a week either!

10K this morning at a leisurely pace.   Have the Cotton Row run in 9 days.  I signed up for the 10K so I wanted to make sure I can do the distance a week or so out.   Will taper on the run this week, and maybe the bike, but not the swim.    

 

Today is  as  near a  perfect day as can be and a prevue of summer.  The sun's out, there a nice breeze, and the flora is as lush as it can be be.  Can we say "verdant?"  Will break out the barbecue and roast a chicken, beer can style.   Throw in some salad and some side greens and a loaf of french bread and voila, and oo la la, je reve que je suis a Paris au printemps.     

Will have to find the right bottle of wine to go with it all.   Hey, it's le weekend....Cool

Went out for a 3hr bike ride and had an amazing pace at 2hrs when I got a flat.  Spent my only CO2 figuring out how to use my CO2 pump and called for a ride back to my car.  Decided that my day was over and I will get back out there tomorrow.

Nice brick this AM with LBS. 28 miles @ 17mph followed by 4.75 miles @ 8:52 average pace. Kept an 8:15 pace for the first 2.5 miles then fell off to a 9:00-920 pace. Solid workout, realized that I can push through and do more than i thought. at about the 1 mile mark, i was regretting that I opted for a 5 mile vs 3 mile run, at the 2.5 mile mark my quads started barking at me, had a brief 30 second walk break, and then powered through. Laughing

24 miles and some change on the bike, averaging about 15 mph. Not bad for having a 20mph sustained wind (man, have I mentioned how much I *hate* that?). But it is a sunny and beautiful day. I'll see how the spirit carries me later, might do a 5k for the hell of it.

40 miles today. Longest ride since I've gotten back on the bike again.  Miscalculated how much it would take out of me.  Still average a little better than 18mph though.  Now for a bath and a nap!

40 minutes on the dreadmill this morning while my son watched Yo Gabba Gabba.  Then we went out to watch our town's biggest race: the Pole Pedal Paddle.  We had a good time and got to watch the first 10 or so finishers come in and we saw a lot of my friends out there competing.  To bad it was rainy and dreary.

Miserable 29.72 mi ride, which I cut short from a planned 46.  Calves were super tight this morning for no particular reason and every pedal stroke was agony.

I hate bad rides.  Fortunately, they happen rarely, but they still really suck when they do happen.
