Cathy and I completed P90X Legs & Back and ab ripper early this morning.

During my Lunch break, I ran from work around the loop to tonaquint, down hilton dr, over to the virgin river trail, back to manowar, and the long way back on the loop to work. I tried to run slow. I even walked the first few miles so it would appear I was running slow. At the end of the run I gave up and just ran comfortable. Mostly small rolling hills and one good uphill climb on mile 3.  Total time = 1:27:30  Average pace = 8:20

Mile Splits: 9:01, 9:04, 8:58, 8:10, 8:28, 8:09, 8:02, 8:10, 7:54, 7:43, and last 0.5 mile at a 7:34 pace.

Swam 2 miles this evening at the City pool.  Completed first mile in 32 minutes and second mile in 33 minutes.  I can't wait until we get closer to spring and I can swim in open water!!

Ran the Tuachan Duathlon this morning.  I was pretty happy with my time of 1:48:58.  I PR the first run 5K in 21:10 (6:50 pace), my bike was a 24 miler at 1:05:48 (21.9 ave mph), and my last 5k run was a 21:57 (7:06 pace).  This is a very hilly course which made for some fast speeds going down, but a lot of climbing too!!  I was first in my age division. :)

I rode my bike home for another 13 miles.  On my ride home a teenager through a drink at the back of my head.  I got a good look at him and the truck.  I will find him!!  I had 2 witnesses too.  I caught the last one that did a similar thing last year.  I won in court on him since he had a prior... he's not driving for a while and probation.  heehee!!

After I got home Hyrum and I went out for his run.  It rained a little on us.  He liked that!!
