2 miles pool running followed by 15 minutes swimming.  I took my lunch at 10 a.m. to make sure I would be back in time for my meetings.

PM - walked the dog, then pumped up the tires on my bike and rode to Point of the Mountain and back (22 miles).  Does that count for 7 running miles?  My butt hurts.

AWESOME cross training. Wish I knew how to swim or bike. Sounds so fun! Where's that new pic taken, nice mountains in the background. You look so cute and adventurous with your pack on.

Smooth - that picture was taken during my 80+ mile week of trail running down in the Phoenix area in February 2008.

WOW 80+ mile week!!! I didn't know Phoenix has such beautiful mountains. You're quite a world traveler! Did you race while you were in AZ or running as part of the visit?

Actually - I went down for a week of trail running 2 years in a row to prepare for the Buffalo Run 50K (I have a friend with a spare house I can stay at). Last year I actually found that the Lost Dutchman Marathon (part trail/part road) in Apache Junction was the day after I got there - so ended up starting the week with a marathon and moved on from there.
