8 miles this morning. Weather was perfect. I pushed a few miles. I kept getting passed by cars going up and down this dirt road, heading in and out of a camping area. When ever a car is along side of me, I like to speed up to make everyone think I'm faster then I really am. Who can say they don't do that? I do it everyday. Is that wrong of me? I think not. Anyway, the cars never really stopped, so I just kept pushing the pace.

Longest bike ride to date, 35 miles! I noticed my rear tire was low before I started. I filled it up and when I got home, it was pretty dang low. I've got just over 1000 miles on this set of tires. I'll rotate them tonight and fix the flat.

Wife told me I needed to started getting up earlier. By the time I get done with my work out it's pretty hot out here. She does her running after mine, bless her soul.

25 mile bike ride this morning. I rotated my tires and fixed a flat I had. I think the bike needs a tune up. After rotating the tires the gears don't shift right.

20 miles on the bike. Felt pretty good. I sure I could go a lot further, but I'll follow the schedule. If running has taught me anything, it's follow the schedule or your going to get hurt. Too far too soon is foolish.

8 miles this morning. Weather was nice for a change, no wind. I felt pretty good. I have a department physical fitness test coming up in about 2 weeks. That mile and a half in 14:55 always makes me nervous (just kidding). You wouldn't believe how many actually struggle with it.
