Thursday – 5/22/08
This morning I needed to bike and run, since I can’t run this afternoon, so my time was somewhat limited. I rode the bike for an hour and then ran 6 miles. The bike was a typical ride (on the trainer.) Worked up a good sweat, went back and forth from low to high gears and up and down on the saddle for 18 miles. The run I felt really good. It was cool and I felt hydrated and warmed up so I pushed it a bit and ran 6 miles in about 45 minutes. I had forgot my watch so I’m guesstimating. [24]
Friday – 5/23/08
Two of my favorite words…Rest Day!
Saturday – 5/24/08
Saturday was a big test for me. You see Friday after work Alison and I drove to the lake to spend the weekend with some friends, and I knew that was going to mean late nights, and a little too much fun. But, I made sure I took it easy Friday night, went to bed “relatively” early and was able to get in a nice 12 mile run Saturday morning. Ran about a 9 min/mile pace had to deal with some rolling hills and felt great afterwards. I wasn’t tired, winded, or sore and I was able to enjoy the rest of the day out on the lake and have fun that night. [12]

Got in a good one mile, open-water swim in the lake. [1]
Tuesday – 5/27/08
AM: Road the trainer this morning for an hour with a combination of hard, fast bursts, standing up grinding it out and some recovery. [18]
PM: A great afternoon run. It was hot and sunny, but I did a good job all day of eating right and hydrating and I set out for a 10 miler. I ran at a real good pace, about 8 min/miles and except for a few stomach cramps here and there that I was able to work through I ended up running 11 miles in 1:23. I was spent by the end, and I can tell I was starting to overheat but a splash of cold water from the hose and by the time I was done stretching I felt better. I little sore, but better. [11]
