Met Kevin up at WRL at 8:30. Did a 5.75 mile warm up to Mocking bird and met the Summer team at TeePee Hill. After that I only had enough time to go around the lake once before I had to leave for softball practice in Allen. It was a great ride.

Run
  • 1h 05m
  • 5.43 miles
  • 11m 58s /Mi

Ran over to where Annita lives. It was a really pretty day. Rigged my Nike Ipod thing (finally) and ran. It's a little bit off, or maybe the error is in my rigging. It said I ran 6.5 miles., which was my goal. Mapping it out today it looks like it was off my a mile, which makes me a little sad. It was a nice run though, and a beautiful day. It was nice to see all those people working in their lawns. The route worked well, and I know I can make it longer if I'd like to in the future.

Sport
  • Softball
  • 45m

Warmed up by throwing the ball. I could tell my back still felt a little tweaked though. Had a little batting practice and then I had to leave for a hair appointment.

Beautiful day! Great ride out at WRL with TNT, we only had time for one loop though :-( Got up to 20mph in some places, but I'm a total wuss on the curves. I think I could have stayed out there all night.....

Talked my running partner into changing our workout to tomorrow morning so I could catch some extra zzzzz's.

Bike ride at White Rock tonight, I can't wait!

Rest day.

No time for workouts tonight, we went to see Andrew Bird at the Gypsy Ballroom.  He was fantastic, although, Seth and I were both very sleepy by the time he came on stage (11 pm - an hour past my bedtime).  He played a great set, but we left before the encore, we were tired and still had a 45 minute drive home ahead of us :-(

Ran on the treadmill with Annita. Experimented by eating a Gu before I started. It may take a while for my body to get used to those.

The run felt great though, I'm really getting to the point where I wish I didn't have to stop at 50 minutes. Heart rate was very stable, barely went above 165, and if it did, it went back pretty quickly:-D

Swim with TNT tonight. Did more yapping than swimming, but it was fun to share triathlon stories and experiences. Tried to kick on the wall while I was chatting away. The next couple of weeks I've really got to bite the bullet and get some good workouts in.

I'm going to try and start logging what I eat so maybe I can see if it's connected to my headaches.

Nice easy bike ride, took the long way, to Annita's and back. It was a nice day and I figured I should take it a little easier after my tri on Saturday.

One good thing, I'm way more confident about my pedals in traffic now :-)

Sport
  • Walking
  • 2h 00m
Had a nice long walk with Annita and Sabrina around Chisolm trail.  We walked from their place, around the dog park, and back.
