RUN/WALK - 4.25 miles (5 mins walk to 5 mins run - except for the last 2 segments, I ran for 5:30 and 6). 

 I can't tell you how WONDERFUL it felt to run today.  Really run - I ran almost 2 miles.  My ankle felt so great that I really did have to restrain myself not to go further or faster.  It's coming folks, its coming!

BIKE - 15.69 miles 1:02:57 minutes - I felt good on the bike too, but it was hot.  I hope to get a longer, harder ride in this week.  I still feel like I am so slow on a bike!

I think I will be able to do the mini sprint triathlon in November.  I'd better be able to run the 5k gosh darn it!
