Why I Oughta!!!

This was suppose to be easy this morning.  I ran the first 2 miles with 1 minute walk breaks after 4 minutes of running (19:30 min)(9:46 pace).  I didn't bring the garmin, so I just ran comfortable.  The next 5 miles I ran an 8:05 pace.  Felt easy!!  Total time was 1:00:32.  I did some upper body strength training for 45 minutes before my run.  Rode bike to work.

My motivation today was "Ironman May 2011".  The Ironman is coming to St George next year.  I don't feel I could finish within the allotted time, so my goal is be ready for 2011.  I can swim a mile comfortably in 35 minutes.  I can bike the distance and the marathon I can do, but I'm not sure if I can finish a marathon after going 6-7 hours on a bike.  It's a goal!

Tonight we swim and then a message.... AHHHH!!!!!

ran an 8:30 pace from the rec ctr after yoga. Yoga was a hard work out.

Ran the first 2 mile warm-up at 8:48 pace.  Ran the next 5 miles at a 7:56 pace. Over-all pace 8:11.  Well under my marathon goal pace.

Biked to work everyday this week.

Yoga tonight and maybe a 1 mile swim.

Hill work today.  Only 5 hills, but had to work one really hard because two large labs chased me on one.  The dog bite my heal as I kicked up sprinting.  Police cited the owner of dog at large and endanderment.  The police almost shot the dog because it chased them too.  Dumb owner & dog.

Ran 10 miles total.  3 miles around 7:40 pace toward end of run.

Biked a little today pulling a trailer with our 2 yr old in the back.

Played in the pool with the kid too.  I got burned on the back.

Weight training too - upper body and abs.
