Biked 70mi averaging close to 18mph with a pretty strong wind.  I was exhausted at the end.

Was TDY in Charleston, SC and ran over the Ravenall bridge.  This is a great run with a very wide running and bike lane over the bridge, which is about 2.75mi long.  My calves were burning when I got to the top of the steaper side.

Ran about 5mi over the Ravenall bridge in the morning.  It was hot, but atleast the bridge allows for a nice breeze.

Ran atleast 2mi with my dog.  She is just starting to run with me, so she runs and walks, but we covered 4mi during the day and I would say it was pretty even running and walking.

Ran with a group of 6 other runners and started at 7:30.  There was no cloud coverage or shade and the run was miserable.  I'm glad I was able to cover the distance at the speed we did though.  I need runs like this to get me running faster.  We stayed at 8:20/mi for about 4 mi and then slowed down the second loop and ended up averaging 8:37/mi.
