Whew, did the full distance biking today.  Actually felt pretty good.  Now I've just gotta up my speed by a few mph — oh and still have enough left to run 6 miles.  ;)

• Bike 24.67 Miles - 1:50:17
• 1116 Cal. & 154 Ave BPM 

Well had some technical difficulties with my Garmin today… forgot to hit "start" - oops!

• Bike 15 miles - 1:04:44 

Well back from my trip, I set out to put in some time on my bike yesterday.  My normal route had to be changed since S.W.A.T. had set up a command center in the middle of it.  I guess fact is stranger than fiction.

• Bike 14.95 miles - 1:05:55
• 164 Ave BPM & 696 Cal 

Another great day for a bike ride.  Unfortunately I left my Garmin on last night so the battery died 7 minutes in… luckily I had my bike computer to fall back too…

• Bike 11.2 miles - 53:12 

Another ride today, though I was a tad sore from yesterday.

Bike 12.1 miles - 57:13.

(532 Cals / 155 bpm) 

Today was a beautiful day for biking.  Actually watched the sun set on my ride. Nice. Kinda cut my trip a bit short once it was dark and all though.  Still managed to squeeze in 15 miles even with the late meeting at work today.

Today, we took another crack at this whole running thing…

• Run 2 miles - 18:56

Well I would like to say I went for a 5k run today. Unfortunately, a slow, painful jog would better describe how I traversed the 5 kilometers this evening. I did lap another person on the track a couple of times during the 2nd half of my run, but she was a tad heavy so it wasn't a huge victory. One thing is for certain: I still hate running as much as ever. I will concede, though, that a pair of running shoes is probably one of the cheapest and best pieces of work out equipement you can buy. Swim trunks COULD be if you live near a lake… other wise you're paying for a pool and suddenly swimming isn't so cheap.

Now that it’s finally warming up and I’m mostly over my illness, I can start training for the new season of Triathlons! That’s right, I’m coming out of retirement after a year long sabatical…

I’m still getting my bike legs back from the winter so I did a 15 mile jaunt today with moderate hills. It took me 1:19 to complete… glad it’s still early in the season.

Keeps the doctor away. A mile swimming that is. That's right, after a year sabatical, I am again training for a Triathlon. No longer a sprint triathlon, but a full triathlon: 1.5k swim / 40k bike / 10k run. (the swim is 50% longer than the typical Tri because it is with the current of the river). I've been getting back into the swim -er- swing of things for a few weeks now, but today was the first time I had accurate timing for the swim. I was pretty happy with my time as my initial goal was to get under 45 minutes. 1/2 Mile Split Swim Time: 21:30 1 Mile Swim Time: 44:19
