My run this morning was suprisingly hard.  I'm not sure if it was the sun or the fact that I have not run any long distance for a while, but I struggled with the run.

Finally, a run where I felt pretty good.  It was really windy and I even felt a few raindrops this morning.  My body responded a lot better today than it has the past couple runs.  I felt a lot more normal.

Had a nice ride this morning around the island a few times.  Felt good to get back on the bike.  My back is still bothering me pretty good so I did not go to the gym and lift weights. 

After the ride I did a little workout at the house.

I played basketball last night four about an hour.  It is pretty amazing how you work different muscles playing basketball vs. running.  I thought I was going to rub my feet raw playing basketball but it was a lot of fun to get back on the court and to play a little hoops. 

Got up this morning and did a 7 mile run.  It was pretty warm and very windy.  I was going to takes Rhett's advice and go and swim and see if it helps my back, but I was too tired to get up at 5.  Overall I was happy with my morning run considering the wind and my exercise last night.  I was tired by the end, but I am tired sitting her writing this...

TOTALLY LAZY THIS MORNING...  My legs were pretty fried this morning and I was EXHAUSTED so I just went back to bed and slept in until 7:30.  Felt great but I always feel bad when I don't do something in the morning.

Had a really nice run this morning.  I felt great and it was a little cooler so it was an ideal morning to run.  My legs felt fresh and really good.

Windy morning run.  The wind has bene pretty crazy here in Havasu the past few days.  I felt a little sluggish this morning but overall I had a good run.  It was hot when I has the tailwind and tough when I had the headwind.  Not sure what I like better.

Had a nice ride this morning.  Not pushing anything too hard because I am not training for anything.  Just trying to have fun riding my bike.  It was too windy to try to push hard too.

It was really really windy this morning.  I don't remember a run where I ran into such intense wind here in Havasu.  Usually it is a little calmer in the morning, but it was blowing pretty hard this morning.  It made for a long last 2 miles.

Had a nice run with Rhett.  Windy and slightly chilly day.  Weird for May in Lake Havasu.

From the first few steps I knew my run this morning was going to be tough.  I was completely out of energy and I was not feeling it.  My watch was off for the run so I could not get an accurate AP for the run, but I am guessing it was somewhere around 8/mile.  Hoping I am feeling much more refreshed Wednesday morning.

Started the morning with about 30 minutes of weight lifting at the gym working chest and arms.

I had a really nice ride this morning.  The weather was about perfect and I was actually feeling pretty good this morning.  Started from my house and did 3 laps around the island.  Averaged about 20mph around the island.

Had a nice short run this morning.  I have to take my kids to school so I don't have as much time to run in the morning.  My legs felt much better than Monday.

This week has been hard because I am taking my younger kids to school and this has reduced my already short amount of time to workout.  I did a 35 minute gym workout and that was all I got done this morning.  I guess it will give my legs a day to rest before I ride when Rhett tomorrow.

It is getting hot here.  Ran at about 8:30 this morning and it was really hot.  I think the heat killed my pace.  I guess it is time to get use to the heat again.

Started the morning with a gym workout lifting my chest, arms, and calfs.  Lasted about 35 minutes.

Had a nice 18 mile bike ride.  It was nice outside.  A little windy, but overall a nice morning.

I was hoping to swim this morning but I slept for an extra 20 minutes after my alarm went off so I didn't get a swim in.  It is much hotter in Havasu now.  I ran at 6:30 and it was already pretty warm.  It will take a little time to get use to the heat because I was pretty spent by mile 6.  Not sure about the pace because my watch went a little crazy on me.  I am assuming it was around 7:55 or so.

Went to the gym and did about a 40 minute workout with weights.

Had a nice ride this morning.  It was beautiful here.  Little wind and great riding conditions.  My legs felt a little tired so I didn't push it too hard.
