I was a little lazy for labor day and just went to the gym and did a 30 minute stationary bike ride followed by a 25 minute weight workout.  It is amazing how the stationary bike works different muscles and seems so much harder than riding on a bike.

I did my ussual 5 mile loop this morning.  Legs were actually a little tired this morning for some reason.  Maybe it was from the stationary bike yesterday morning. 

AP:  7:50

Followed the run with a swim in the lake.  It was really choppy this morning and there was a pretty good current.  Took longer to get to the lighthouse and I got a few unwanted gulps of lake water.

Today is my bike day so I had a nice ride this morning.  3 laps around the island.  It is amazing how much funner it is riding on the road instead of the stationary bike.  2 of my laps around the island were 11:04 with an ave speed of 20mph.

Ave Speed:  18.1mph

Ride time was just under 1 hour.

Started the morning with a run in the heat and the wind.  It was very hot and a little humid this morning with a pretty strong wind.  My legs were really tired this morning with the run.  I am assuming this is because I did not workout every day last week and my body is still trying to build up some endurance from being sick last week.  I think the heat and humidity played a role too.  I made it through the 5 miles but not my fastest run by far.

AP:  8:12

Followed my run with a swim.  I tried the snorkel and it was difficult for me.  I kept getting water in my nose and had to stop and recover from this.  I am not sure why.  I was not breathing through my nose, water would just get in the nose.  I guess it is something that will take some time to get use to.  I thnk I could swim faster and push a little harder when I did not have water in my nose.  Swim took 39 minutes which is a lot slower than usual but I had to stop a lot to clear the nose.  I am not going to give up on the snorkel...  Change just takes time.

Did a long ride with Rhett this morning.  This is my firt really long ride of the year.  Overall I felt good but got a little tired the last few miles.  I wanted to run after, but I figured I should save some legs for my run on Saturday.  Sure felt good though!

Had a 12 mile run this morning on the TM.  It sure gets boring running that long on the TM.  I am looking forward to cooler weather to start running outside.  My legs were really tired from my ride on Friday and I really had to push to make it the 12 miles.  For the first 11 miles I ran 8 min. miles and the last 1 I ran around a 7:45.  I also decreased the incline from 1 to zero at about mile 9 because the legs were so tired.  I was just happy to get the 12 in.
