21 miles on the road bike (17.6 mph) out and back toward Georgia on 319.  Saw my first ever roadkill alligator in amongst all the roadkill armadillos and possums - doesn't get any better than that.

Limited energy this morning.  Maybe the fast 200s on Sat or the 20 miles on the road bike yesterday, but it was a bit of a chore to maintain 8 min/mile this morning.  Looked back and it seems I haven't taken a day completely off for 15 days.  I know thats not earth shattering for most, but its been quite a while for me since doing that - might take Wed off instead of the usual 10-mile mountain bike workout.

Well, tired legs Monday and no sleep Monday night convinced me to take yesterday off completely.  Worked out well as I had a really good run this morning - 66 degrees might have helped too.  Did my usual 5.4 in reverse order with the plan to drop the middle three miles down around 7:30.  Ran them in 7:22, 7:33 and 7:13.  The 7:33 was actually the most satisfying because it is all uphill and is the one that I ran 7:20 last week in the downhill direction.  Might set my goal at 21:30 for the trail 5K race next Saturday  - hopefully it will actually be 5K this year instead of the 6K it was last year - ooph.

Ravine trail plus north loop clockwise, with middle 2.5 miles done at 1 minute on (about 5K race pace) and 1 minute off.  Another nice coolish morning and good run to start the day.

Another nearly lovely morning on the trails.  Nice easy 8-8:15 pace.  Travis and the team races in the morning - the boys have victory on the mind... we'll see about that.

Afternoon workout since the boy and team raced late morning - more on that in a minute.  2.5 mile warmup and then a track workout  - 4X300 with a 200 at the start and the end.  First 200 in 36, then the 300s at 58, 57, 55, 52, and the finishing 200 at 30 secs - all under good control.

The 10:30am start this morning was unfortunate, with heat index easing up to 90 - bleh.  Travis eased the PR down another few seconds on a much hillier course than last week, with a strong first mile (5:26), and a finish at 17:24 - 3rd on the squad only 17 secs behind our 2nd boy.  Must go eat now - later.
