Ran to mouth of Canyon and back near dusk. Better than nothing, but was hoping to get a long run in.

Got out on a solo run. Nobody showed and so I ran the normal Thursday loop backwards to see if I could catch anyone. No luck. I was feeling a bit out of sorts because of the previous night's bike ride.

50 miles on the Bike. Biked to Alpine and then headed up Provo canyon in about 100 degree heat. It took me over an hour to stop sweating even though I showered as soon as I got home.

6 easy miles along the trail in Vail, Colorado. I definitely felt the added elevation. Vail is at about 8800 feet and I felt a very noticeable difference in effort.

7 miles on the treadmill in Vail, Colorado. Freak thunderstorms kept me inside on the treadmill. Temp was about 85 degrees in the gym. I sweated like a pig - not a square inch of dry shirt or shorts.

30 miles on road bike in Collierville, TN. Road with Jeremy and Angela (and about 30+ other riders) Pace was good enough for a good workout but was not too frenetic. Jeremy and I sprinted the last mile at about 29 mph. My legs were certainly burning after that effort.

Did 30 miles on the bike at about a 24 mph average with the Collierville, TN Bike World group. It was alot of fun, but I started to melt a bit when the attacks hit at about 25 miles out. Keeping a steady, fast pace is certainly much easier than going from a slowish (20mph) rate to a 30 mph sprint.

Ran 10 hot miles in Memphis, Tennessee humidity. The temperature was not too bad in the mid 80s. Found a really cool trail that connected two city parks and then headed off through the woods to a river.
