| Morning: 1 mile barefoot in the grass before a 40 minute swim in the lake. The water is warming up a bit.
Evening: I started lifting weights with Chase (my oldest son) about 4 weeks ago. Upper body, lower body and core. Then I did a 5 mile easy run. My legs were tired from the weights so I took it nice and slow.

| 20 mile bike ride on a windy morning.
I was going to do an easy run this evening, but my calves felt tired so I decided to take the day off from running.

Evening: I had a a little time before dinner so I took off from my house and ran out to some trails in the desert that are less than a mile from my house. I've never done much running out there. It was fun to explore the trails out there a bit.
5 miles, 88 degrees

| I headed back out into the desert for some more trail running this morning. I got in 8.3 miles. Some of it is rocky enough or steep enough that the pace is pretty slow. I averaged about 9:30 minutes per mile, but I reallly like how it works different muscles than running on the road and it requires full concentration so you don't go down. I think I'm going to start doing a lot more trail running.
Evening: Upper and lower body weight training and core work with Chase.

| My calves were a bit sore from the weights last night, so I decided to go for a long ride. I got the bike out and headed out for a nice long adventrue. I was descending down the hill from my house and hit a rock that I didn't see and I heard the dreaded noise of a flat tire. I was about exactly 1 mile into my ride. I hopped off the bike to see which tire blew and to my dismay I managed to flat both of them with that stupid rock. I only carry one spare and since I was only a mile out I didn't want to call my wife and bother her, so I took of my bike shoes (it's hard to walk in them) and walked my bike home. I'm totally counting that as 1 mile of barefoot running today by the way.
Once home I decided I didn't want to waste the cool morning weather changing tires, so I put on my running shoes and headed back out to explore the desert trails. I found some new routes, a few of which were not runnable, but had a lot of fun none the less. I ended up doing 6 miles just under 10 minute pace.

| 19 mile hilly bike ride this morning
Tonight I made it out the door about 8:30 for my run and it was still 85 degrees.
1 mile warm up
4 x 1 mile with 1/2 mile recovery jogs (6:15, 6:20, 6:52, 6:35)
1/2 mile cool down
I was all over the place on my mile repeats and they hurt way more than they should, but I guess since I haven't done any fast running for about 6 weeks, it's a good start.
