Run for your life!

Ran the shoreline trail by Ogden Canyon. Beautiful run, but my head was blurry. Just not very focused. I ended up tripping and getting scraped up a little. Not bad really, but that's the first time I've fallen while running. Clutz.

Seven miles on the TM today.

Swam 1.3 miles this morning. Completed 1 mile in 44 minutes (not very fast!). Then swam until the hour was up. 46 laps in a 25 yard pool.

Glorious trail run (with no falling on my face) during lunch. Funnest run I've had since St. George.

Feeling really tired today. Talked myself into going for a walk in the afternoon. Ended up running two miles.

Swam one mile in 39 minutes. Learned that a swimming mile is actually 1,650 yards instead of 1,750 (1500 meters). Improved my hour swim to 50 laps or 1.5 miles. I know it's only my second time since an initial swim 2 months ago, but I feel like I'm learning quickly. Watched some videos on Youtube about triatholon swimming that were helpful.

Went on a great lunchtime run on the south side of Ogden Canyon on the shoreline trail. Beautiful! The south side is much prettier than the north in terms of foliage. So fun to pump it uphill and then fly downhill. It feels like your winding up the rubber band on your boy scout rocket and then letting it go on the way down.

Chilly ride (32 degrees!) on the tandem out to the ranch and back. Averaged 20.3mph for first 43 miles. Wind on the causeway slowed us down a little, plus, we brought no food, so we ran out of gas but we ended up at 19.8mph for the 62 miles. Good ride.
