Swim in the hotel pool this morning with the kids - and some hot tubbing. Not feeling too bad today.

Heading up to the Golden Spike National Monument now for some family history geek stuff. Then back home.

No running again today.

During the time I normally run I took a nap and ate about half a bag of chocolate chips.

Easy 4.75 mile run around Sandy this morning. 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups after.

May do some cross training at the gym later if Ann doesn't have to work tonight.

So, went to Steiner while Abby was at swimming and did 15 miles on the Lifecycle in 45 minutes. Pretty good day workout wise. I'm not recovering from marathons quite as fast as I used to. Still think I have a couple good ones left in my legs. I got an entry into the Twin Cities Marathon on October 2 for the USATF Masters Championships. I think I'll go ahead and do it and make it the focus of my training in the upcoming months. I ran Twin Cities back in 1996 and Ann and I lived in Minneapolis when we got married in 1994. We ended up moving for educational/career reasons but I really did love Minnesota and I look for excuses to get back there whenever I can.

One mile warm-up on the eliptkl.

Seven miles in 52 minutes on the treadmill.

Took the training wheels off Andy's bike today and he just started riding. Working on the turns, starting, and stopping now. I got a little sad realizing that I'll probably never teach another kid how to ride a bike.
