1/2 century spin class. Very hard workout. Then 5k on the treadmill just to see if I could run after biking. It felt good.

Six easy miles with Nathan in the evening. It was fun. We traded off deciding what we were going to do over the next quarter mile.

Ran five easy in the morning. Swam after work for a mile. Ran two more when I got home and found my wife again in the middle of P90X. Tired and hungry. Swimming makes me really hungry!

Bought a trainer to spin at home. Spent about 45 minutes on it or about 15 miles. Felt really tired and fatigued still. going to take the rest of the day off and take it easy during the break.

Wonderful run on the shoreline trail this morning. Then took the tandem out for a 17 mile spin with Lisa and Nathan on his bike. Nice day.

Seven miles on the TM. Miles 4, 6 and 7 at MP. Got a sudden head cold last night and sweating it out this morning. Crossed the 2k mark! Now I need 1.25m swimming to get to 20 miles...really in the last two months and maybe I'll stretch for the 2,700 miles on the bike mark. We'll see. Thanks for your support Kam and Jeff. I really appreciate it!

Swimming with Nathan and Peter in the morning. Then in the afternoon, rode out to the Great Salt Lake and back. It was cold on the causeway towards Antelope Island! Turned around about 1/2 way across to get 31 miles in all.

One mile jog this morning helping one of our scouts with his personal fitness merit badge. Tuned up the kids skis and sent them on their way. Then took a nice tandem ride out to the end of the Legacy Parkway trail and back. Stiff headwind going out with average speed of 18.6mph, but pulled the average up to 20.3 on the way back with speeds as high as 30, but mostly between 23-27. 42 miles in all. They're connecting the Legacy Parkway trail with the Jordan River Parkway trail. Construction is underway now!

Ran 7 miles with my son Nathan on the shorline trail and then added one more at home to get to 2011 miles for the year 2011 along with 2,700 miles biking and 20 miles swimming. Now I'll be squarely focused on training for the St. George Ironman.
