Jeremy, Adriane, Phil, and I ran around the City of Washington. Jeremy and Adraine actually met us there by running from their house in Bloomington, and then they ran with us for our hilly 9 miles. I was impressed!! They had to leave around 4 am to meet us on the north end of Washington by 5:30.

I did P90X shoulders, arms, and ab ripper.

I did a half Ironman workout with Tri-club and those that will be participating in the St George Ironman this spring.  We did the Gunlock loop section of the bike.  Very difficult section of the course. We did 49 miles in 2:45 hours.  After the ride, only a few of us ran one loop of the run course.  This is a VERY difficult run.  I was very happy to run it under a 1:50.  LOTS of steep hill climbing in both directions.  I am spent!!!  Cathy and I had sushi for dinner... Yummmm!!!  And now I'm off to bed so I can run 15 tomorrow.

Britnee and I ran to the SHAQ Pool.  This is mostly an uphill course.  I was surprised I was able to run today and Britnee ran this distance with ease!  I barely made it to the pool before closing, and I was able to swim a quick quarter mile in 10 minutes.  I forgot to take my running gear off before I dove into the pool. heehee

Mile Splits: 10:22, 9:58, 9:06, restroom break, 9:36, 9:30, 9:46, 9:38, 9:27, and 9:16.

I was hurting the first 2 miles so we took it slow with walk breaks at the end of every mile.  Then I had to high-tail-it to the park restroom during the 3rd mile.  I made just in the nic of time... whew!!! Rest of the run was uphill and we ran the last 2 miles with no walk breaks.  Britnee is a good runner.  This run was too easy for her!
