Rode my bike outside today for 51mi with a friend.  It was beautiful weather and the course had nice rolling hills and most of the route had a bike lane.  Since it is Easter, there was very little traffic as well.  I don't have a bike computer yet, I've ordered one and its on the way so I just use my GPS and let it run continually through stop lights and stop signs.  I would say the pace ranged between 17 and 20mph for most of the ride.  I got a new saddle that a USAT certified coach recommended and it was horrible.  It's the ISM Adamo Road saddle, and it has a wide front with a cutout that caused a constant pain around my groin area.  I've read that most people drill out the center and zip tie the front of the saddle closer together.  I am definitely going to try that.

Did strength training with machines that give help eccentrically.  Did squats, calf raises, back row, bicep press, and some core exercises. 

Spent 2 hrs on my bike ( 40min commuting and 120min on my bike trainer)

Ran a loop where I wasn't sure of the distance but hoped it to be about 7mi and it was 6.8mi, good enough.  I'm trying to get use to the heat and pollen again.  I was feeling dehydrated.  I ended at an 8:53/mi pace.  The beginning was slow because my legs were sore from strength training yesterday, but I started to feel good after a couple of miles and picked up the pace a little.

Spent 2hr 45min on my bike today and the rest sitting at a computer working on a class project.  My hand is more sore than my legs from typing and using the mouse all day.

Did a 10mi trail run at around a 9min/mi pace.  The beginning was a bit slow, but I picked it up at the end and ran the last mile around 8min.  The weather was very nice, a little chilly just standing around but perfect for running in a t shirt and shorts.
