After a hugh breakfast, Cathy and I headed over to the gym.  The temptation was too great and I started running on the treadmill.  I did 2.2 miles, then 15 minutes of P90X ab ripper, and as I was headed back to the TM Cathy pulled me into a dance class were I learned the marenge.  We mastered that and then I ran 2 more miles.

Maybe I will swim later in the liesure pool so I can work off all this food we are eating!!!

Swam 1 mile in the liesure pool again in a full-on rain storm. Loved the swim, but the humidity made it hard to breath.

TM run - I started at 6.0 mph and every half mile I increased the speed 0.1 mph.  I was hoping to do 7 or 8 miles, but after 5 miles I was done.  So, for the last mile I did my speed increases every 0.1 of a mile.  I hit 8.0 mph at 6 miles and I ran the next 0.1 at that speed.  The last 0.1 mile was a cool down at 6.0 mph.  I have to play these games on the treadmill so I don't get bored... fun times!!!

Just another 10K on the TM.  The TM was all metric and in spanish so I set the speed where I was comfortable.  I was sweating so much that my shoes were squeeking and the treadmill belt was slippery.  This humidity is insane!!!!

Total time was 53:09 at an 8:35 average pace.

Cathy went to the Spa and I went running again.  I ran down the beach to ship wreck beach and back for 4 miles.  There is a real ship wreck about 100 yds off the shore.  The sand was very soft and had a steep slant to it.  I bet I will feel this better tomorrow!!!

Mile Splits: 8:37, 8:09, 8:10, 8:25

Ran further down the beach this time.  I turned around at a beach shatty town right on the edge of the water.  Down side... I now have blisters on my middle toes from the sand!

Very sunny and warm today... 85 F in St George.  I ran from home up-hill to the Rec Center.  Cathy was there attending a zumba class.  After class, she took me to the Del Taco... :)
