32.9 on the bike - had some time to kill cause of my work schedule and the kids are in school...

this one was a little hard cause the farthest I've biked before -- didn't fuel right I'm sure.  Took some new routes to Stone Mountain and in the park.  some dang steep hills there.  

 

time to do a longer run tomorrow -- won't worry about time

about 9.6 at a new park - Arabia Mountain -- another big granite blob in the middle of georgia - this one appears to have been harvested mostly.  Stone Mountain is much bigger - but this was pretty cool.  not much for forest trails, but a really long bike path.

totally no energy or whatever-  took some pictures of what i found and generally took a long time to go almost 10 miles.

Kind of a slow ride / 12.5 miles or something.  14.1 ave I think.  Right knee wasn't too much happy in it.  Didnt really loosen up like normal.  Maybe from more running this week.

Doing the evening shift this week so I have days open until 4PM.  Love it!

Went without watch for an 8 miler and had to alter my route so I got a bonus half mile.  No idea on the pace but I didn't have to walk at all, which is an accomplishment at this point.  I have resigned myself to the fact that I am starting over.  It isn't quite from scratch, but it is starting back to where I was maybe 6 or 7 years ago - maybe.

This one wasn't quite as good as yesterday.  Honestly I'm not used to two 8 milers in two days anymore.  I walked a few paces but it was a good run overall.  No watch again.

Went out again around 1 this afternoon.  Went out with a goal of about 8.  I turned around at 3 and then took the long way home to stretch it a bit closer to 8.  Not the best run but it is in the books.

almost two hour slow trail run at Sweetwater Creek St. Park.  Nice to get on the trails again -- really need to eat and drink better before these runs --

stopped my watch and forgot to restart it a couple times -- im guessing it was about  .2 worth.  

really wanted to do 40 this week -- close enough
