Distance is an estimate. Went to the gym and ran from there. Made a big loop and was back to the gym 40 minutes later. Ran smaller loops from there.
Used a new chant to focus on form - "Elbow, elbow, toe, toe". Meaning - elbows driving back, elbows close to the sides (they have a tendency to drift out), and thinking about my toes helps to land on them (or near) and roll off of them.

Pushups and situps before running. I saw a guy doing his pushups balancing his feet on a swiss ball and his hands on an upside down half ball. I did this today. Pretty cool stuff.
What is the upside down half ball technically called?
It's May! And I can finally get rid of my Peepatar. Yay! [happy dance] Now I just need to find a new one. Hmmm.
I'm scheduled to go out to a customer's site today. How do these people expect me to get my training in AND my BT time in AND work?

Easy treadmill at the gym.
Whenever I get on the treadmill, I feel like I'm in the movie "Gattaca". There's a scene where the hero is running on a treadmill in a line of other treadmills. He's masking his heart rate with a recording. Everyone today was running face forward, no looking around.
- Core Training

core work along with pushups pre-run.
Time to solidify which Half I'm doing this fall. Put together a list of the driveable Halfs along with their estimated size and prices (with price cutoffs). Reviewed the fall calender with the wife. The kids are in a German dancing group and the fall is a busy time for them. The best one for us calender-wise is....
drum roll please.....
PrairieMan, right here in DFW. I now have a solid goal race.

Great weather for a bike ride today! 73 degrees with a 6ish mph breeze.
The new seatpost feels great. I feel stronger with it and I'm definitely sitting on my saddle with my sit bones. I kept sliding up with my previous seat post.
