a short, wet roll

Got out about 6:45am for a misty wet ride. Went for a short ride (22 minutes), but rode pretty hard.

Month's end.
Pretty good output for September.
Input had much to desired.....

a grey saturday

woke up with a startle at 7:47am, realizing Will had to be at his soccer game by 8:45am.

Although we had a good long walk to the street carnival in town, no formal workout.

But a good week, despite the travel at the beginning.

1 run, 2 cycle, 1 swim, 1 abs, 2 long walks.

a friday roll

up late, and out for a 28 minute ride.

Sore today in different parts of the legs. Swim yeserday?

We did a family abs workout. Jennifer put on the Abs 100 dvd and all hit the floor for 100 crunches, etc. (even Meg made and effort).

Plus - grass cutting (backyard hasn't been done in 3 weeks!!!).

PM - a long walk with family

Cycle/exploring

Rode this morning 27 minutes.

Went up Jefferson, and up and down the streets that dead end up against the lake. Some pretty interesting houses back there!

With it now Fall I like the cooler mornings, but I don't like how dark it is when I go out.

PM BONUS - jumped into the pool for 20 quick, hard laps. Felt great (and great to be back at the gym in anticipation of having to move indoors in the coming months to workout).

home and back on track....

Ran this AM - 2,4,6,5 with a minute in between. Felt GREAT.
Would have run more but was anxious to get home to let Jennifer go on her run!
(late start - 7am for me)

Vacation summary

I bought a pedometer for our vacation.

I did get in two runs, and two days swimming laps in the AM before everyone else was up.

In Tennessee we walked over 5 miles (Aquarium).
In Florida walked
7.6 miles
10.3 miles
9.1 miles
8.4 miles
7.8 miles
for a total of 45.2 miles in FLA, 50.2 overall.

On my 10.3 mile day, with damp socks, I got blisters on the balls of my feet!
I was more proactive with a dry pair of socks mid-day on the other days.

Labor Day

Went out for a cycle - 30 minutes with a great sprint at the end!
explored the neighborhood on the other side of Alter, including another park with baseball diamonds (6) on the river, and a closed parks and rec pool.

The park was trashed...trash everywhere.
Why don't people have more self respect and clean up after themselves?

finishing off last week

pretty good week for output
2 runs, 2 cycles, and a HARD 4+ hours of yard work (bushes, lawn, etc).

Input? eh.... Could have been better.
