Slept later than I wanted to after being up late last night.  It was warmer since I was getting a late start (75) with light wind.  I felt good this morning and planned an easy run as I am still building up the mileage and my body has not quite adjusted.  I started feeling like I was running on empty around 9 miles.  I didn't take any fluids with me which was not very smart but was able to hold my pace and made it in.  I hope to add a few more miles next week and get in some faster paced runs as well.  Now planning on enjoying the 4th weekend.  Busy weekend for us.  My anniversary was yesterday and my daughter's birthday is tomorrow.  Going to be 16.  I can't believe that.  Have a great 4th!!

PM:  Went on a 20 mile bike ride.  Didn't push it very hard.  Just took it easy and enjoyed the beautiful day and company.
