No run today.  It's the day for Yoga & Swimming.  After Yoga, I felt so good.  But then, I had to swim for 1 1/2 hrs.  Now I'm exhausted again.....:)

Monday is the speed workout day for me.  I'm very lucky because I work in the place that allow me to do my running at lunch.  I have this group of guys that like running.  We did 4x1 miles repeats today, average 7:30 min pace.  Feeling very good after 2nd repeat.

Kids were sick today, but was able to do 6 easy miles early in the morning.  At lunch, husband went home, watched the kids, and I was able to get in an hour of cycling.  Oh...it was an intense cycling class, just a whole lot of hills climb and sprinting.  Still feel good...later in the evening, husband got home from work.  I went to swim for an hour.   Yeah....!!!

The menu for the day was to run 8 x .75 mile loop in Brighton.  The weather was horrible.  I couldn't believe that there is snow in June.  It was cold.  

The workouts itself were great because of the elevation.  After 8 loops, everyone looked at Coach for his mercy to call it quit, and he did !!!!  

Got home around 8:30 am, I took my dog out for an easy run, 5 miles.  Oh boys, I felt great. It must be the elevation change or better weather.  My dog was huffed and puffed after we were done, but I felt fantastic.
