Ran a really easy Jr. High warm up and then around Abbie Court.  Pretty uneventful, except Kim trying to knock down Kellie P door to get her out of bed.  Funny thing, she could not hear from Disneyland.

Added up my miles on my shoes--260.  When you only go 18 miles per week, I get a few monthes out of them.  April 5th purchase date.

I am switching to some base/build workouts, especially for the bike.  I had a stressful morning so I only go my lifting in.  I got out of work early and hit the bike.  I used my road bike, hoping that I could put some COMFORTABLE miles in on that without my head falling off.  I moved the seat up and that felt pretty good.  I went on all my favorite routes in one ride (I don't get too creative on picking new routes--and I don't need too).  Around the golf course, to the base of Harry's hill, over to Goosenest, down Utah ave in Payson, out to Benjamin and back up by the new ball parks.

I averaged 157 beats per min at 18.4 mph.  I was surprized my heart rate was as high as it was with trying to go easy.  It could have been the fact it was hotter than blaze outside (4-6 PM).  I limped home on tired legs, but healthy legs.  That was great my knees felt good and my neck does not feel too tired.  It is nice to enjoy a bike ride again.

Could not get out of bed this morning.  Still dragged myself to the pool.  Swam an easy mile in 33:27.  Felt good afterwards.

Biked after lunch to and from work.  The swamp cooler has the water turned off.  It was a pleasant 93 in my office when I left (then I biked home at 5 to cool down).

Yes that is a 9.8 miles for the tri guy. I planned on a long run and got one. Ran a 1.4 warm up and then a big loop at the riverbottoms and the tree road. I hope my knee is ok. I ran between 7:50s and 8:30 miles.

This is the first time I have swam for 45 min straight.  I tried to stay relaxed with good form.  Not exactally successful, but not too bad.  I was swimming 62 sec per laps.  Now a 800 just does not seem too long.

I biked around West Mountain this morning.  It was cool and pretty.  I was going to go with Morgan, but he had bike problems.  I kept an even pace.  I did not have any technology other than the watch to tell me my speed.  It was kind of nice not having a pace nag.  I just went by feel and I was just trying to work on distance and not speed.  I used my road bike.  I made sure I had plenty of fluids and food.  Last time I did this ride last year I bonked.
