10.33 miles biking around the neighborhood when we got back home.  A little drizzly.  I did one small flat loop a bunch of times to avoid the hills because my legs were so tired.  But this felt good.  

TT: 54:56   AP: 11.3 mph

Total Ascent: 607 feet

Only got in 3 days of running this week, missed my 2-3 mile recovery run.  But its awkward picking which 2 days to run back to back.

Took Cooper and Frankie on runs (half with one, half with the other, I'm not brave enough to take both at once!) around the neighborhood.  

Tiny twinge in my left shin still, but not when running, just after.  It doesn't hurt or feel like anything when rub my leg though, so I have no clue what it is and feel (and hope) it hypochondria.  

Hard to believe I was running on Saturday in the high 60's and today it was 38 F, tiny snow flurries, SNOW FLURRIES!  What?! 

Splits:  9:49, 9:38, 9:43, 9:43, 9:42, 9:14 (tried to pick it up the last half mile)

Ran at Game Farm park with Lisa and Anya.  Got there a little early so did 2 miles before they got there, that might be too much mileage for the week, I don't know, but I felt good so oh well!  

Splits: 9:35, 9:21, 9:22, 9:07, 9:05, 9:03, 9:08, 9:08 (.17)

Wow, faster than I thought!  I like that.

In other news, yesterday I semi-cheated and had a bunch of fake oreo cookies.  :-(  I have trouble bringing enough food on late night class nights and I was starving and succumbed to a billion pistachios, chips, and unfortunately, cookies.  But today my teacher brought donuts and brownies for the last day and I didn't have any of those!  So bad news and good news. :-)  Still no "official" cheating.

11.03 miles on the bike around the neighborhood, exactly 1 hour, so exactly 11mph.  I am slow!  I felt maybe the teeniest tiniest bit better today than before, I didn't stand on any of the hills so maybe I'm actually getting the gear shifting down better.  I need to strengthen my quads, and get some running/biking gloves.  After pouring all day long (POURING) there was a break for the hour I was out, which was nice.

As a reward, happy hour with Jord. :-)

3.53 miles around the neighborhood with Cooper and Frankie.  Got lucky again with it being dry after pouring all day.  Felt very very very sluggish today.

Splits: 10:03, 10:03, 9:54, 9:57... yep, sluggish!
