August 1.  Time does go by really fast.  Did my usual 20 mile bike loop this morning.  Again, very hot and it was also pretty windy this morning.

Did a longer run this morning on the treadmill.  Too hot to run outside.  I felt fine but got a little bored.

I had a nice bike ride this morning.  No flat tires (sorry Rhett) and it was a really nice morning.  It was acutally a little cool this morning so the breeze was really nice.  Did 14 miles which took about 45 min.

I needed to go to the office for a staff meeting so I had to cut my bike workout short this morning which was a little frustrating.  Had a good short ride with Rhett.  It was nice to get out on the bike with Rhett and talk about life.  I will be gone next week and will not get a long ride in, but starting the next week I am back to riding.

I went on a youth Temple trip so I had to run a little earlier.  I did not sleep well but somehow I made it.  This was a TM run at the gym but it is too hot to run right now.  I felt really good, I just got a little bored!

AP:  7:45 with incline at 1.0

I had a nice ride this morning.  I had time to do 3 laps around the island so I was able to ride a little longer than I have the last couple of weeks. 

Ave Speed:  17.6. 

Ave Speed around the island was 19.5

I thought it would be a nice morning to run because it rained, but there are no nice mornings here in havasu at this time of year.

AP:  8:10

Followed my bike with a swim in the lake.  Felt great to get out and swim.  My shoulder was tight, but I made it about 26 minutes.

Nice ride this morning.  Riding is not so bad in the morining here because of the wind.  It was really humid though.

Did a run at the gym on the TM.  Tried to do some speedwork by my hamstring was tight and I don't want to push it this far out.  

AP:  7:41

Did a swim in the lake after the run.  It was really nice.  32 minute swim.

Had a really nice bike ride with Rhett.  We rode hard and it was a little windy on the way back so we got a good workout in.  It was the first of many long rides before our half ironman in November.

My brother got married in the San Diego Temple this weekend so I was in San Diego and needed to get a workout in because the weather is so nice.  I did 8.3 miles and it was really nice.  I could tell my legs were not use to running longer distances outside, but I felt good after.  I LOVE to run in San Diego!

I got back from San Diego and just could not find the energy this morning to workout.  I will be back at it tomorrow!

I did a comfortable speed run this morning.  I just have not had a lot of energy this week.  I did the run outside and it was not too bad.  Tried a new pair of shoes that worked good.

Followed the run with a swim in the lake.  It was about a 32 min swim.

Life is kinda funny.  I did not sleep well last night but I felt great on my run this morning.  Earlier in the week I slept well but did not feel good on my runs.  Maybe I should start sleeping less.  Did 5 miles and I felt really good. 

After the run I did a 37 minute lake swim.  I felt really good with the swim too.  Working out is much more enjoyable when you feel good!

I was in Atlanta over the weekend for some dental CE.  I did not get a chance to workout on Friday, but today I did 10 miles on the TM at the hotel.  I used some new shoes and they took some time to get use to, but I really like them.  Very comfortable.

AP:  7:46 with 1.0 incline

I have been sick since I returned from Atlanta.  Stupid airplanes...  This morinig was the first morning I felt good enough to get out of bed on time to train.  Did an easy bike ride.  2 laps around the island.  It felt great to get back out!

WOW!  It was a beautiful morning in Lake Havasu City...  I walked outside and it was actually a little cool outside.  Maybe it was the fresh legs from not running while I have been sick or maybe it was the weather but I felt really good running.

Did a 33 mile ride with Rhett this morning. I have not spent a lot of time on the bike this week so my legs were a little tired but overall it went good.

Did a TM run this morning. Kept it pretty easy at 8 min miles for the first 8 miles and finished with a 7:40 AP for the last 3. I felt good. Did get a little bored on the TM but that is normal.
