After a few days of being totally lazy I got out for a run at my parent's house in CA. Went 10.75 miles out by the lake. Stopped in the middle to stretch for a while. Nice run.

Did mile repeats this morning. Went to three tracks before I could find one that was open that wasn't doing construction so I got a later start than I wanted. The Saint George sun is HOT!

Swam the distance of my next tri. 1.2 miles is a long time to be in the pool but I was glad to know that I could handle the distance.

Rode a long way today. This is the second farthest I have ever gone. It went surprisingly well. No bike problems and I had enough water- those were the two things I was most worried about.

For the second time ever in my life, I got up before work and worked out! I love when I have some determination. Its so hard when I know I have a 12 hours shift ahead to want to work out before but I know I'm too tired when I get home. Got the gym a little after 5am and swam a mile before work. Yeah!

Ran on the treadmill and watched a movie. I hate the treadmill but I hate the heat too so I had to do it. It felt good. I had my back adjusted yesterday so I wanted to see if it helped my hip and my hip didn't hurt at all on the run. The doctor said my right leg was about 1 1/2 inches longer than my left so he did some major adjustments. I'm so glad it helped!

Due to the heat in Saint George, I have been doing most of my exercise inside. I did a brick today to prepare for my 1/2 ironman. I rode two hours on the bike trainer while watching Eagle Eye and then ran 5 miles on the treadmill while watching the first Harry Potter movie. I miss being outside but I'm a whimp and can't handle the heat. Tomorrow I will grin and bear it and go outside.

Started running at 5:30 this morning and it was still 82 degrees! I'm sure everyone is sick of me complaining about the heat but its hot. I had a a good run though. Nice and easy 14 miles.

I was at the lake with my family this weekend and we found a little cove to swim in. I'm not exactly sure of the distance, just guessing based on how long it took me.

Ran with a new group this morning. It was really fun to have a group of people pushing me. Did 9.5 averaged a little under 10/mile and that includes running up Foremaster Hill!

Did the Gunlock/Veyo loop today for the first time with Meri. It was a butt kicker! The hills never seemed to end. It is part of the ironman course next year so at least I live close enough that I can practice many many more times before next may. We only averaged about 14.5 mph with all the climbing! The weather was beautful, for once not too hot.

After accidentally turning the alarm off this morning, I decided to swim. It was overall a good swim. Got in 1.2 miles in the time I was shooting for. Hopefully, tomorrow I can be more successful getting up while its still dark out so I can go for a run before work.
