Woke up early from my sleeping spot on the TRam... took some pre sunrise pics and started running down... took the meandoring mtn bike trails all the way down, which to me seem to meandor too much, some time ridiculous how far out of the way the meandor to get you down the hill... ran all the way down to Wheelers, where the truck was parked and headed home... good fun morning run, mostly all downhill!

Got out for a lunch run... thought it would be cooler but it was hot... felt good at times and then felt super drained at other times... started at Beus and went up steep trail did the Beus loop and then down and over to H2O cyn and then worked my way back... glad i got out but not one of those great running moments!

Got a rare double in tonight... kids and Kel were off at soccer practice and school shopping, so I jumped on the bike and did a quick lap around the dam... planned on going nice and easy, but as soon as i started I had a good tailwind which was nice then I got into a competition with myself to finish the loop 16 miles and average over 20mph... when I turned to the WEst to go along the South side the tailwind was now a headwind, it ended up being a good push and ave.20.4mph I then went and climbed a few hillls in Eden Hills and ended with 21 miles in just over one hour of cycling... Always feels good to be on the bike!

hit the trail for a nooner run... legs were definately heavy from the double yesterday... but felt decent... it was also very hot, i need to get out in the morning when it is this hot!

Had some time waiting for my boys soccer practice to get finished so I did an evening run... MO short loop, some good ups and some good cruisin... got back to the park and decided to do an extra mile in the park did half of it barefoot... love the feel of running barefoot in the grass, makes you feel fast, actually was pretty fast! good hot run!

Hit it early, did my 4 mile test run... didn't think I'd be fast today, but eased into it and got into a good groove... 7:55, 7:46, 7:47, and 7:55... so nothing rippin but felt good and worked on the breathing and form... i like this 4 mile push it is very varied with road, dirt, trails, and hills... makes for a good way to start the day!

Sweet way to end a very good week of exercise... went out in the wind for a lap and more around the dam on the bike... Wind and a road bike don't match, but because I was just out to enjoy the ride it was nice to push through the elements... seemed like 3/4 of the ride I was fighting the wind whether it was a headwind or a crosswind it messed with my speed, but fun nevertheless, had I been riding for time, it would have been very frustrating, but I just tuned it out listened to some good tunes and rode... 23 miles and over an hour of riding, don't remember exact time!
