| 8 miles this morning. Can't believe how could it was, 38 degrees!! I put on my winter gear and headed out the door. It was a cold and windy run. I forgot to mention that yesterday on my bike ride, I came across a baby rattlesnake sunbathing on the road. We just looked at each other with a mutual understanding of, "I won't bother you, if you don't bother me". | | Add Comment |

20 mile bike ride this morning. A little chilly and windy. With only about 200 yards to go, I got another flat, so I walked home and changed the flat there. It was another goat head sticker!!! I'm thinking about putting slime in my tubes. I'm not sure if they make a road bike puncture proof tube or not? I know they make some thicker tires, but that would take away from my speed. Maybe my tires are starting to get too thin. I never had flats until about a month ago. I only have 1100 miles on my tires. I was told that there good for around 2000 and I've even rotated them. I don't know, live and learn I guess. Anyway, a good bike ride.
I get the weekend off!! My family is all coming down. There making some changes in the Branch Presidency and I'm the poor soul who was asked to be president. I'm not very excited about it. I hope the branch doesn't burn under my watch. | | Add Comment |

| 40 mile bike ride, longest up to this point!! My back gears came unscrewed during the ride, I had to tighten them when I was done. My Shoe clip decided it didn't want to let me clip in as well. Luckily I carry tools with me. It made for about a 2:30 hour ride. | | Add Comment |

8 mile run today. I participated in our departments semi annual physical fitness test this afternoon. I've always won sense I started with the division 4 years ago. I usually lap most and some twice on a mile and a half run. There was some fresh blood there today. A young man straight out of the academy. Apperantely he was number one in his class.
I proved victorious and beat him by 36 seconds. I really look forward to these runs. I guess beating a bunch of non runners really does something for me. Like I've said before. "I'll take a win where ever I can get it. | | Add Comment |

25 mile bike ride. Very windy and hot. Nothing special to report. Oh, I found a fishing jacket full of tackle lying on the side of the road on my way back. It was a nice jacket with some good gear in it. I put it on and biked the last 5 miles home. I'm sure I looked pretty sexy in my bike shorts and fishing jacket.
There were 3 new fishing licenses in the jacket, so I'll be able to return it to it's owner. | | Comments(1) |

45 mile bike ride, longest distance up till this point. It was windy when I left the door this morning. I thought it would be good training to push some of those hills in the wind, man was I right. I don't think I've ever been in wind that strong in my life. I was doing 12 1/2 minute miles for most of the ride, on a bike!!
The wind was so bad at some points that it knocked me over on the ground, twice!! I had to get off and walk at on point, because it was too dangerous to ride. When I was walking, the wind was blowing me across the road. I was hanging on to my bike with two hands and my bike was blowing like a kite in the wind above my head. It took all I had to hold on to it and to keep my footing.
The road narrows in some places where the cliffs/walls are on both sides of the road. At these points, the wind would pick up quarter sized rocks and blast them through the wind tunnels at what seemed 100 miles per hour. The rocks cut my arms and legs, leaving them etched and looking pretty rough. I said a little humble prayer at one point that I would make it home ok.
On the way back I had the wind on my back. I had to stay on the brakes most of the way, to keep from going too fast and out of control.
Needless to say a pretty crazy bike ride. I'm glad to be alive and glad to have done the ride. I hope I don't experience wind like that again. | | Add Comment |

45 mile bike ride. Much easier and safer then the 15th. Didn't really seems too touch of a ride. I'm gaining a little more confidence of the distance. The 15th kind of scared me a little. Nothing scary to report on today's 45 miler.
Started swimming today. I think the lake is finally warm enough to start swimming 3 days a week now. I've only got about 2 1/2 months to get into swimming shape for the big TRI. I swam about 30 minutes, felt pretty good. | | Comments(2) |

Rainy morning again. Ran on the tread mill. 8 miles on a tread mill stinks. I did a 12 once. Did a little speed. Found out that I'm still in pretty good shape.
My 8 year old graduated from 2nd grade today. I went to the awards ceremony. She's improved so much this year. She's such a good read and loves math. It makes a father proud. Her teacher cried and said she was going to miss her. | | Add Comment |

20 mile bike ride this morning. Not a long ride, but something anyway. I guess this is my easy week as far as biking goes.
A pretty cold and crazy weekend out on the lake this weekend. | | Comments(4) |
