Another morning ride. I rode the first half faster than every before, but slowed on the second half. I guess I was tired from two previous days of riding. Maybe tomorrow I will make it a slow ride.

Good things today..!

Rode 29.5 miles @ 19 mph

Ran 2 Miles @ 7:50 pace

Spent time with Callie Andra (my daughter) :-)

Callie is home for two more day so that make three days I get to spend time with her before she goes back to college. She wanted to run so I biked my usual 29.5 miles then ran 2 miles with her.

So far my hip/side feels fine althought running felt very awkward. It felt like I was pounding the ground and very jerky with my stride. It did feel good though!

Here's an awkward Bible verse:

Genesis 25:30

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.” That is why he was also named Edom.

Rode to San Marcos to meet the riding group, then rode with them, then rode home.

12.5 + 36 + 12.5 =  61 miles total.
