Enjoy the Journey

Nice hard 30 min stationary bike ride. Ate waaay too much Mexican food and cake for my wifes birthday. Still made it through the workout without puking.

TM intervals at around midnight after a long day at the office and an even longer night of church meetings. Very exhilirating workout, but couldn't fall asleep until about 1am and 6am this morning came very early. It's a constant time battle to squeeze these workouts in but I'm going to keep battling.

My legs were still a little sore this morning from my last run so I didn't dare risk an injury by going out for another run. Instead I went to the gym and did 40 min of cross training.

Intervals on the bike for 25 minutes and then intervals on the elliptical for 15.

I love that elliptical! It is the kind where you can vary your stride all the way from a stair stepping motion up to a full out sprint all while it is in motion. It cranks my heart rate up and is very kind on my legs. I just hope the fitness it develops will transfer to my runs.

Ran in the evening with my daughter after watching the Oregon Ducks receive an old fashioned whuppin from LSU.

We ran from Grandhaven around the steel mill and up by the Gillas' to the Pardee's. Nice run. Not quite as sweet as last weeks long run, but still good.

It was a clear starry sky night with a beautiful half moon. Great conversation with my daughter who will be turning 14 this month. I'm glad we have running in common as it will help keep us close through the turbulent teens.
