Ran  at 4:15am since I had to be at work at 6am.  First 2 miles was slow with walk breaks every 4 minutes.  It took 18:40 to run the first 2 miles. The next 3 miles felt better and I ran the the 3 miles in 24:33 (8:11).  Total run was 43:13 (8:39 pace).

Rode bikes with Cathy to the Pool for laps.  We rode 16 miles and swam 90 laps.

Speedwork day at the track.  I had to go later than I like to.... big mistake.... the place was crowded and no one followed any track etiquette.  So I spent the entire time weaving around everyone from slow walkers to soccer kids.  I did have a good workout with 5 repeats of 400's at 1:36 time, and 2 repeats of 800's at 3:25.  I tried to run an easy cool down mile but ended up running an 8:00 pace.  It felt very easy!

Later, Cathy and I went to yoga class for an hour.  I did a little upper body weight training afterwards, and then walked to Taco bell for an after workout snack.

I started out with a bike ride to work, then off to the pool for laps.  After I swam 1.4 miles (100laps), I rode home.  The total bike miles ended up around 24 miles at 18 mph average.  I then ran a very tired and hungry feeling 10K (54 minutes).  I slept well that night.

Cathy, Elijah, and I ran part of the St George Marathon course today.  I dropped Cathy and Elijah off a mile ahead of me.  They only ran 12 miles.  I started in Dammeron Valley and soon realized my error.  I had the 2 miles of hill to climb right at the beginning of my run. 

The hill was good for me, and it sprinkled a little.  The weather was perfect and the early morning was beautiful.  It took me 19 minutes to get up the hill, then I found my groove, and I felt like I blasted my way down to St George.  It took me 2:13:14 to do my 16 miles.  This averaged out to a 8:20 pace.  This is my goal pace time and my body feels GREAT!!!  I think 3:40 marathon is going to be easy.... yeah!!!

Cathy and I swam and biked a lot of miles this week.  I did just under 4 miles of swiming this week, and biked 66 miles.  I may still get a ride in today!?  I also signed up for the Oceanside California 70.3 Ironman in March 2010.  I am very excited!!!!!
