Swam 1 mile at the lake.  Ran bloomington hills to the rec center and back.  Nice ups and downs... the heat didn't seem to bother me this afternoon (approx. 95)  It may have helped not to wear a shirt... 8)

Midnight run from Tuachan to home. I went to see Cathy's show, Tarzan at Tuachan. It was still hot (90ish), but bearable!!! Felt good and the pace seemed consistent. The first 3 miles was a warm-up... I am still sore from last tuesdays speedwork. My pace would slow down on the uphills and you can see that on the mile splits. Everything greater than a 8:00 pace had a significant hill to climb. The rest of the time I was cruising downhill with the wind at my back... :D  (Average Pace = 8:01 Total time = 1:36:05)

Mile Splits: 8:25, 8:03, 8:11, 8:33, 7:50, 8:40, 7:51, 7:42, 7:33, 7:41, 8:12, 7:21

At mile 11 I was taking a short cut on a dirt trail and I tripped over a rock and wiped-put really good. Mostly cuts and bruises on the palms, elbows, knees, and road rash down the right calve... :(   The ego was spared since it was dark and the middle of the night!!

The kids and I ran the Bloomington neighborhood annual Freedom 5K at 7 am. Anna, Haylee, Joseph, and I finished in 43 min. I pushed Ammon in the stroller. Joseph ran 1 mile and then rode in the stroller.

Evening Bike ride on the Southern Parkway loop.  Total miles = 18, Time = 52:20, and Average speed = 20.6 mph
