9 mile run in Enoch this morning at my parents house.

 

I'm going on vacation tomorrow with my family to Disneyland.  I'll be there until the 10th.  I plan on training while I'm there.  Wish me luck I hope I stick to the training plan and don't get fat.

9 mile run at Disneyland @ midnight.  Got lazy and almost didn't do it.  It's hard work walking around at Disneyland all day and night with three kids.

Didn't finish last week out very strong.  Disneyland is my excuse.  I took a few days off to be with my kids.  Now I have to live with my shame.

 

Picked my bike up at the shop on the way home.  I had a tune up done on it along with some new tires.  She's purring like a kitten.

Did a 55 mile bike ride in the wind this morning!! That's right 55 miles!! I know that's nothing for some, but it's my longest ride to date.  Felt pretty good, hated the wind.

9 mile run this morning. Felt pretty good.   My legs didn't know that I had biked 55 miles the day before.

Did a 40 minute swim after the run.  The wind had picked up and the water was pretty choppy.  My legs definitely could tell I had biked  55 miles and had just ran 9 miles, because they kept cramping up on me.  I swim close to the shore, in case I have problems and to avoid being hit by a boat. 

I swam to shore a couple times during the swim and had to work out some nasty cramps.  All in all a good work out. 

 

I came across a quarter on my run.  I just stepped on it and kept running.  Sorry Bill!!  It may still be there tomorrow if your interested?

10 mile run this morning.  Didn't feel any different then the 9's I've been doing.  I'm finally in the 10's again.  Did some speed as well, felt pretty good.

Went for a swim after the run in Lake Powell.  The water has risen so much, I was swimming in the tamarisks.  Swam for 35 minutes.  Felt good.

25 mile bike ride this morning.  I wore my new triathlon suit.  It's a full body spandex suit designed to be worn during the swim, bike ride and run.  It's pretty slick, I felt kind of gay wearing it. 

Went for a 41 minute swim today.  The water is finally starting to warm up.  At the beginning of the week,  I was shivering after my swims.  Now I'm just a little chilly.

Good work out today.  Time to go get on the boat and catch some bad guys.

Longest bike ride of my life to date!!  Biked 60.7 miles!!  I felt pretty good at the end and the weather cooperated.  My schedule doesn't call for anything more then 60 miles in fact I'll be backing off to 50 miles next week.

Did a 37 minute swim in Lake Powell after the ride.  My stroke is getting smoother.  I'm finally getting more glide with each stroke.  It's all about the reach and pull baby!!

40 mile bike ride today.  I'm headed to Fish lake for the next 3 days to do some fishing with my family.  I'll  be biking and running up there.  I hope the water is warm enough to swim.

25 mile bike ride this morning at Fish Lake.  What a beautiful place to ride.  The weather was perfect.  Just don't open your mouth while biking along the lake.  I think I ate a pound of bugs. 

Caught tons of fish.  Did a lot of canoeing.  I think I might put that into my overall mileage as well.
