   goodSpin bike 12 mi 00:37 19.4mph pace

   I don't really trust the speed/distance/wattage measurements on spin/exercise bikes, but I figured I'd log it anyway. Short warm-up with some 3-minute intervals, then I did some core work.

   There's a loop I do around here that helps me see where my fitness level is...it has one really steep 1/2 mile hill and a 4-mile section that is a constant 3-4% grade, but the rest is pretty flat. When I'm in marathon shape, I usually run it in 1:29-1:30...today was a little slow. We'll see if I can bounce back in the next few weeks!

   Did 5 miles out, then turned around...planned to do a steady 7:30/mi pace with three 1-mi pickups. Held the 7:30's easily, but the pickups were uninspiring (6:55, 6:46, 6:38). I'll chalk it up to... read more

   Did 5 miles out, then turned around...planned to do a steady 7:30/mi pace with three 1-mi pickups. Held the 7:30's easily, but the pickups were uninspiring (6:55, 6:46, 6:38). I'll chalk it up to traveling, eating and not training for most of the past week.

     Uninspiring to you maybe. As for me I am totally inspired by that speed. Well done.

   Looks like I reached the 1500-donut mark on DailyMile last week. Guess this calls for a celebratory...donut? Sigh...back to 1499...

     Think of it as a challenge to be net negative in exercise to donut consumption. As long as you're exercising more than consuming, you're on the right path. For me, I exercise so I can eat more donuts! Mmmm, donuts.

   Went out for what was supposed to be an easy run, but I felt good so I did tempo instead. Ran by the Ironman Louisville practice swim in the Ohio River and the bike transition area. People look at you like you're crazy when you're running the day before an Ironman...they think you're way too Type-A and you're going to blow up tomorrow. It's okay everybody, I'm NOT racing tomorrow! ; )

   I'm in Louisville, Kentucky for a few days to watch the people I coach do their Ironman on Sunday, so I did my tempo run out here. The weather was great this morning, humidity wasn't too bad, and I felt decent. A little harder without anyone to run with, but it was alright.

   As a distance runner, I'm always relieved to see "10K pace with short recoveries" on the plan instead of "5K (or faster) pace with long recoveries.". Today was 7 x 1000m with 200m jogs for recovery. Felt slow, but coming back gradually...averaged 5:55 pace for the set.

   Easy trail run with a friend early this morning. I have officially given up on the Nikes I bought (found the old Sauconys which I loved before they "improved" them last year and ordered another pair). I guess I should stick with what works instead of experimenting all of the time.

    Our local "lake" is really gross, but there's a bigger, cleaner one about 20 minutes away, so we went there this morning. Swam easy for about an hour...not sure on the distance...I think it was a little less than a mile each way. The weather was perfect, the water was perfect and I felt great.
