Planned day off.  Took my oldest daughter to the airport for her semester abroad in Paris.  Bit of a nervy stessful day.

AM - easy 3 mile loop before work.  Trying to add miles with the least amount of stress.

PM -lunchtime around Carillon Office Park and Feathersound.  A little over 7 miles at a decent 7:30-ish pace on a warm January day (78 degrees, I think).  Legs feeling a bit fatigued from the additional mileage in the last week or so.

AM - light/easy appx 4 miles of untimed running.  Feeling it in my legs this morning - need miles but not stressful pounding - so kept it relaxed.  Pleasant morning in the mid 60's, a bit humid. 

PM - a little over 6 miles on the treadmill at lunch.  Temps over 80 today - I opted for the cooler climate controlled gym so that I could keep my pace and HR steady in the 75% range.  Decent run.

PM - at the gym - did 50 mins on the stationary spin bike with Riley.

AM -  quick 3 miles before a seminar and a busy workday.  Won't likely get a lunch run in today, but hoping for a run after work. 

 

PM - 7 miles on the treadmill at the gym followed by a few hundred yards of swimming with Riley for a cool down.

AM - bike ride with Riley of about 18 miles and then a quick transition to just under a 2 mile run (brick) to get her body familiar with the switch from bike to run.  She's doing quite well with the training and with gettting used to the pedal/clips. 

PM - good run this afternoon which probably can be attributed to the nice weather due to a cool front that came through yesterday.  Just under 10 miles and at a respectable pace.
