My 11 yr old and I headed out for what he thought was an easy run.  We ran the first 2 miles at a 10:00 pace with 1 minutes rest breaks after every 4 minutes of running.  The entire 2 miles was up hill.  After that, it was all down hil for the next 5 miles.  I just relaxed and let my body feel the groove.  I ran the 5 miles at a 7:57 pace.  It all felt great!!  I would have ran faster but I'm a little gun shy of injury.  The 11 yr old dropped out with 2 miles left.  He wasn't feeling the same groove.  Total average run was 8:32 pace.

Rode bike to work, then home, then back to work, and then home for a total of 10 miles.  Easy ride!

Started as a leisurely run for lunch, ended with me running well under my marathon goal pace.  Ran 5 miles with an average time of an 8:16 pace.  I ran the last mile under an 8:00 pace.  I'm wondering if a 3:45 marathon goal will be too easy by October.

Swam 42 laps at the pool.  Swam my 30 laps in 13 minutes.  That is my fastest time yet.  I had a guy in the lane next to me motivating me to go faster.  Okay, okay... I had to beat him and I did!!!!  Did a 10 lap cool down after my 30.
