| Two bike rides today. First bike ride at 8:30 with my bike group. Wasn't sure my fitness level was up to this ride today, so I dropped back down to a slightly slower group than I usually ride with. We averaged 16.8 mph for the 32.3 miles. I felt stronger than I thought I would, particularly since it is a quite hilly route, with some major climbs near the end. I then met some girlfriends at 11:30 for a more casual ride. We rode 28.9 miles on flatter terrain, at a slower pace, probably 14.5 mph. I was good and tired by the end, and had a flat tire 5 miles from the end of our ride! Between the four of us we had all the proper equipment to change it out, and it only took us 30 minutes! Clearly, we could all use some practice with bike maintenance. I was lucky to be with friends who could help. It is 76 degrees now! And we actually have a few more days of "summer" weather ahead, according to the weather forecast.

| Slow and steady, just moving for 35 minutes. No coughing, though, so that's progress. Second day of antibiotics, so I should feel better soon. Its just going to take a while to rebuild distance and speed. Right? |

Track workout. Stronger than last week; i was able to do 5 400s at 5K pace, plus wu with 1.25 miles barefoot on the track. Not great, but definitely better than last week.

| Time for a mountain trail run! Haven't done this for too long, and it was lovely to spend some time just wandering around up there. This particular loop has a very brief beginning on flat trail, then a two mile climb, which gets quite steep near the top. I can only manage to run up a little more than half of this right now, then it was walk/run, walk/run. Still, my fitness seems pretty good, considering. I will work up to it. |
