Elijah And I were just going out for an easy run since I was still a little tight from my race last weekend.  We started out slow, but picked it up after we were warmed up.  Stopped at a couple pull-up bars along the trail and worked on my pull-ups... wow... I suck at pull-ups!!!

We finished with a 7:15 for the last mile, and then we sprinted the last 0.15 home.  Elijah kicked my can... fast kid!!!  Our over-all pace was 7:53 average.

I walked 2 miles with Cathy before the run.  She is hoping to resume running this weekend.

PM

P90X - Ab ripperx and upper body pull-ups, push-ups, bar & chair dips, and bicep dumbbells.

Ran the treadmill after yoga class.  Averaged an 8:30 pace.  Arms, shoulders and core is a little sore from yesterday.

Started with a 2 mile warm-up (18:34 @ 9:17 pace).  4 mile tempo at 30:21 with 7:36 pace.  1.2 mile cool down at 8:35 pace.

Swam at the lake in the evening.  Water was very choppy and I forgot my wetsuit.  That was a good training swim for 0.75 mile in 28 minutes.  Rode bikes after swim for 15 miles.  Top speed down the big hill was 49.1 mph.  Total bike time was 50:55.  First half of ride was uphill and against the wind.  But the way back was a lot of fun in 19 minutes.
