I went for a 20 mile mtn bike ride this morning. It's been about 3 weeks since I have ridden my mountain bike and I enjoy riding off the pavement much better than the highway but I do have about 3 miles of highway to complete the loop. It was quite a nice ride along the canals and reservoir. I see a lot of wildlife including a weasle that ran across right in front of me this morning. The temp started at 48 just cool enough to wear a sweatshirt the first 20 minutes. The ride took 1:16 30. It suprised me that I was riding that fast. The effort didn"t feel like that speed. Part of it may be some of the gravel that was graded this spring is getting packed in better. Afterward I ran 3 miles just over 9 min. pace.

     Today was a hard day to find time for a run. Last night I got 4 1/2 hours of sleep. I had to get up at to repair a wheel line motor at 5:00 am before meeting at 6:45 to take cub scouts on a day camp. I got home from that, took a 20 min. nap then had to take my son to town to baseball practice. Then strait from there to my step sons wedding rehearsal in smithfield. I ate a big dinner at Wendys on the way home and it was after 10:00 when I got home and went on my run. I got nice bits of french fry heartburn throughout the run and just went 6 miles at 8:54 pace. I'm very tired. Tomorrow will be another busy day with the wedding.

This morning I didn't get a chance to run until 9:30. It was already quite warm. I went for 12 miles. I ran the first half at 8:25 pace. I was getting hot and thought how refreshing the reservoir looked and stopped and took off my shirt and dunked it in the water. I put it back on soaking wet. It was so stimulating that I picked the pace right up and ran the last 6 miles at 7:37 pace. I'll have to try that more often in the summer. Overall pace was 8:02
