Went for a good, but tough run up the Indian Trail at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. The trail climbed 1,500 feet in 3 miles. Then I turned around and ran back. Great trail. I can't believe how quickly you can go from being at your desk in the city to what feels like the middle of nowhere and then back again. Cool sort of surreal experience.

Tried swimming again. I swam for an hour again. It felt harder this time. I think it's because I quit counting laps and just went by the clock. I ordered a finger lap counter last night because for the life of me I can't keep track of what lap I'm on. I also ordered some Jammers.

Did some speedwork on the treadmill this morning. I've never spent much time with the treadmill on 10mph. I devised a 10X10X10X.25 workout where I warmed up and then ran .25 at 10mph and then .25 at 10min/mi alternating 10 times. I thought I was going to barf. To think that real runners can keep a 6min pace for a marathon is incredible.

2.5 easy miles in the afternoon in my jeans. Tired of sitting all day!

Ran from Rainbow Gardens south on the shoreline trail. Intended to do 8 miles RT, but didn't know where that would take me. Ended up running up Waterfall Canyon to the falls. Cool and beautiful. Leaves coating the ground like an autumn carpet! Ice on the falls. Great escape!

Went swimming with my new jammer swimming suit and fancy ring lap counter (very fun). Swam 2 miles. 1st mile in 33 minutes. Average pace 1:07. Not very fast, but I'm working on it.

It was so warm before this supposed storm that I decided to ride my bike to work. Averaged 20mph for 22 miles and then cooled down for 1 mile.

It is a day of thanks. Every time I think of it I am giving thanks to Heavenly Father for  protecting me today when I was so stupid I turned left at a light in front of an oncoming car. It could have been disastrous, but he put on his brakes and skidded while I rode away safe. Very close and I am grateful today for His protection even when I do things that are stupid.

Now I have to work. Bummer.

I signed up for the St. George Ironman on Tuesday. If anyone knows of a good triatholon training blog, please let me know. I need something that allows for tracking the multiple sports.
