Biked 8 miles in 30+ minutes - neighborhoods and bench 

Hot (100+) so I decided to do a quick ride instead of run

Grace Jordan path - 30:25

Mostly an easy run in the dark, but did some drills and quite a few shorter strides and accelerations. Felt good in cooler temps.

Also biked 2 miles earlier in the afternoon.

Easy core workout

Canals + BK track - 30:59

Felt absolutely horrible on this one. Really windy and I could barely move. 5 x 100 at the track felt pathetic.
