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.

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!

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!
