Easy recovery run with my dad on his bike.  I didn't think he would be able to keep up but he is still faster on the bike, good to see.  I remember when he set the army fitness record for the mile and half full combat with your weapon run.  I also remember swimming across Bear Lake with him, taking an entire afternoon and getting my butt kicked.

Easy run in the cornfields east of Denver but a fairly hot day.  Exactly two days after the peak run my legs are sore.  DOMS

45 minutes of upper body and core lifting

Distance run in San Diego this morning.  Way stinking early but perfect day at 65 degrees.

Drove to Manti eary morning for my sister's wedding and back.  Then spent the afternoon on the lake with the whole family.  About 7:30pm I had a pretty good wipeout with the ski and it hit me in the head.  I was waiting for the boat to get back around with the rope and noticed something in my eyes.  When I reached up to flick it away I discovered it was a big flap of skin.  Took 19 stitches to get my forehead back together.

Missed my run..

Just about the most perfect day I can remember in a long time.  My brothers and sisters are in from all over the country for my sisters wedding and staying with us.  My house is finally getting some use!  I hit the Logan River Trail with my brother, a physical therapist from Idaho Falls, for an early 10 miler at 6 am and was surprised that all the stitches in my forehead didn't bother me at all.  We all then hit the lake for the day for skiing again and must have put 8 hours in on the water.  Skiing didn't bother my head either but both my eyes went black today, probably from blood draining inside my forehead.  We ran through an entire 40 gallon tank of gas.  My girls think they are in heaven today with all the cousins and my son got pulled around all afternoon with his girlfriend holding on an innertube with him, so life is pretty good for him too!  After the wedding reception I went on an 11 miler out in the open valley with my brother from Miami who is training for Ironman Florida in November.

Nice distance run tonight back along the TOU Half Marathon course and back down.  Just running 8 minute pace and enjoying the scenery.  Right eye was swollen shut but came open about 8 miles up the canyon.  There is just something about going long solo sometimes that is just so right with the world...
