Run from work - 24:20

Got to work early and ran 3 miles, then lifted about 20 -25 minutes in the weightroom at work. Nice to do that for a change. Will I do it much in the future? Probably not, but it is nice to get it out of the way in the morning.

Jog with Emily at about 11:00/mile pace. First and last few minutes pushing the double stroller.

In the morning, I biked about 10 miles on the single speed bike on the South Fork Rd. Nice ride, but man I'm out of shape.

Little City of Rocks - 34+

I think it had been about 17 years since I'd been out here, but it is only 10 minutes from Joey's house so I took an easy morning run here. Awesome place and would have liked to go back further but the trail was a little rough for my ankle. Great way to start the day

Biked 10 miles (41+ minutes) around the neighborhoods. Back tire was losing air so I had to stay within a mile of home.

Ran most of it with Emily, then the last few minutes with Nica down the street and back. During the middle of the run, I did a 1000m pickup at the Borah track at about 6:25/mile pace.
