Well, Thursday was a planned day off and I had intended to run Friday afternoon, except the thunder and lightning came. So I took that as a day off, no sense getting hit by lightning.

Today, Saturday was a Bike/Run day. My run was just a short, slow run. I went without my Nike+ today.

Run

My run today (without Nike+)
2 Miles at about 18 minutes. Slow and steady.

I find that my overall run is much nicer when biking first. My pacing is much better. I do have some stiffness in the early first 1/2 mile or so, but once that has passed its very refreshing. Now if could just take that “feel” and learn to run better without biking first. I always tend to go out to fast.

A nice morning bike ride today, the trail is so quiet. Even next to the highway there is not much traffic early and its pretty calm and relaxing out there. I always ride with my phone, just in case and though I would snap a quick pic. Really just wanted to test the camera on my new phone.

Total Ride Time: 1:08:07
Distance: 20.58 miles
Average Speed: 18.1
Max Speed: 27.9

So this is a running site and I will plan to continue running, but now that I found (sort of safe) access to the huge bike path you will have to hear me talk about biking as well. I plan to start swim training soon but that will just be kept to myself, nothing exciting there. Here is my bicycle, its a few years old now but still looks like new.

This will continue to be a running site, but will also add some bicycling making it more of an endurance path than just running.
