I live in upstate NY. I am the oldest of four kids. I've been running since the spring of 2003 when I decided to shed some extra weight and maybe go out for my high school cross country team. Currently am doing MS in Education. Hope to teach Social Studies one day. I have the most amazing girlfriend ever, and she frequently goes running/jogging/hiking with me. Going to marry her one day :) |

8:00 AM - Had to go pick up my sister from the airport last night. She was in California for two weeks watching my cousin's kids for her. Got about five hours of sleep. Up at 6:00 AM and waited until there was a small break in the rain and went for a bike ride. Roads were all wet and I got a streak up my back and for some reason that stupid squeaking noise still will not go away. When I got home I sprayed the crap out of it with WD-40. Hopefully this will help. We'll see. So I got my ride in. I wanted to do more but it was the most disgusting summer morning yet. I was sweating like a pig. Maybe it will help detoxify my body though? Kind of like a movable sauna? Weight this morning was 173. Still want to get to 166 though.

5:45 PM - So I got out of work and zipped home because there was no way the race in Wilton was going to happen. No matter. I knew that I could still make something of today. I got home, changed and hopped on my bike. Only downside was that I noticed that the stems to my tires are a little bent :(. I will probably have to get that fixed at a bike shop. Still works as of right now though. Temp was about 80. Biked to the school, 4.9 miles in 17:50, stretched then eased into a cross country run on the nature trail at the elementary school. 6 x .6 loops repeating. No stopping and I felt really great. No real visible pain. Did 3.6 miles in 35:13, good for 9:46 a mile pace. A little fast, but I felt relaxed. It's hard to transition to a slow jog after pounding out some sick times on the bike! For a cool down did the 4.9 miles home in 18:25. All in all a great day!
Total Time: 1:11:29 Total Mileage: 13.4 miles Avg Pace: 9:46(r); 15.8 (b)
*Note: Best part about today besides being able to run 3.6 miles pain free?! Weight: 170. Lowest it's been in a year!! Down 11 pounds from February. This is good! Next goal: 166. To be lean, tough, and a biking machine!! I can and will do this! Giving 110% each and every day. Staying positive, and looking forward to the future. | | Comments(2) |

9:45 AM - So part of the family reunion has begun. My aunt, uncle and two cousins from Denmark/Indonesia are up here for the week, with a lot more family expected to show up on Friday or Saturday. My youngest brother is at camp for the week, and I dropped my sister off yesterday at the airport (She was home 2 days from CA and now is headed to Las Vegas for a week! Lucky girl!). Took Jonny into work today and then zipped home for a bike ride. My mom is hiking with our relatives up in Lake George, but I work at 3:00 so I needed to be home this morning. Worked in my favor. Longest ride of July, and longest ride on my new roadie ever!
Temperature was 68-70 degrees. Sunny for once! I couldn't resist the need to get a decent ride in. Put on my new bike spandex things and headed out. I think this is important to mention because my new bike tights I think made me look like a serious biker. Actually got three waves from riders going the other way, just the courtesy wave, but I gave it back, snickering to myself and muttering under my breath, "If only you guys knew I am a runner in disguise you might not wave with all those fingers! Muahahah". Ended up going 34.0 miles even today. The last 14 were hard only because my mom snagged almost all our waterbottles. So I only had 1 x 18 oz. waterbottle which I drained by mile 20. Got home and drank about 32 oz of Gatorade-water mix. Weight for the day was 169. Feeling strong. Feeling lean. Feeling fast. And feeling like the rest of today will be a great day!
Total Time: 1:49:55 Total Distance: 34.0 miles Average Speed: 18.6 MPH!!!*

9:45 AM - Part II of my split up weekend that I didn't get last week. Have today off from work, then work 8am to 5pm on both the 4th and the 5th. Pretty stinky! Weather this a.m. was overcast and high 60s with threats of rain. Actually it didn't start raining until I was about at mile 3 of my ride today. Funny. Though biking in the rain is a blast. Almost as good as puddle stomp running in the rain! Mission of the day: to have fun and get a good ride in without killing myself. Ended up doing 20 miles and felt awesome. Not too much soreness from yesterday's ride. Tomorrow tons of family arrives. We are food shopping today for the second time in one week! I suspect we will have to go buy more food after this weekend too! Man our family eats a lot!
