Went out this morning around 9am for a good bike ride. I kept it short, 10 miles, but pumped it hard after the first mile. I averaged just short of 19 mph on the ol mountain bike for those 9. Legs feel great and no pains from the race!

Went out for a run this morning- garmin-less. The stupid thing died. I am getting tires of replacing them every 13 months, warantee is 12. So I am running by feel this week. Pretty decent run, right ankle a bit sore but no big deal. Got home had a bowl of cereal and went out for a bike ride, 13 miles pushing hard all the way.

Went out with the St. George Running Center caravan.I started off just trying to remain consistent and gradually picked up the speed. Hit Veyo and just chugged my way up, took a water stop at the top and then had a good push through to about mile 12. I forgot my garmin so this is all by feel. I did have my flashlight that shuts off after 30 minutes. based on that I ran approx 8.5 miles in the first 60 minutes. That would give me a 7:03 pace. At that point I pushed even harder as I hit Diamond Valley and the good downhill. I let my stride stretch out and I know I was hitting low 5's til the top of Snow Canyon.Then about 1/2 mile from that point I really overheated. I tried running but was getting sick. I walked to the top of Winchester hill (1 1/2 miles) then started running. I was really tires and the overheating affected me a lot. Mike came along with about 4 miles to go and that gave me a boost but only for awhile then Bill came by and I decided to gut it up and tried to keep even with him. So overall I felt good about the run just didn't like the head wind that put more effort into the run and eventually overheated me.

So from here, I will try to get in a 20+ long runs in the next 2 weeks then I am running the Cedar Mountain Half marathon on the 18th. I want to go have a fun run with altitude and steep downhill. I plan on just going for a 1:35-1:40 on the course. Then it is 2 weeks to the marathon!

Went out for a cool down bike ride. 6 miles in the wind-
