Biked 25.1 miles in 1:23:40, 18.0 mph average speed. Good ride today. Legs after certainly feeling it after getting back to the heavy lifting. Grow legs, GROW! Weather doesn’t look great for tomorrow, but the rain may hold off long enough to get a run in during lunch time. We will see.

You have a great transformation story, way to go and way to keep working your ASS off! I'm impressed with the time you put into your training. I trained so much harder when I was first starting out, now I feel lazy when I read your journal! Thanks for the inspiration!!

10/09/2015 - Run at Work
Ran 5.40 miles in 47:46, 8:51 per mile. Hulk run fast today! Well, at least fast for me lately Snuck
in a run between rain storms. Wasn’t sure if I was going to get a chance with stuff going on it work,
so I made it a shorter one. Felt good to get out there and bust it!

Biked 25.4 miles in 1:22:50, 18.4 mph average speed. HELLS YEAH! Great ride today. I was solo and this is one of our hilly routes, so I was really busting it. Perfect weather, great scenery with the leaves and most of the roads are in good shape. I could have ridden another 25 if I didn’t need to get back to work!"If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done."

Ran 5.30 miles in 45:14, 8:32 per mile. Great run today. Running buddy needed to be back in 45 minutes for a meeting, and we came damn close. I looked back in my journal and that’s the fastest pace I’ve run this distance for this year! It’s amazing what dropping 15lbs. can do for your running pace!"If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done."

Biked 28.1 miles in 1:35:48, 17.6 mph average speed. Good ride today. My riding buddy was back, and we took a little longer ride down through Concord to take in some nice fall scenery in rolling hills and farms there. I think it was good not bust it quite so hard this ride, legs were a little sore today."If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done."

10/16/2015 - Run at Work
Ran 7.85 miles in 1:10:18, 8:57 per mile. Great run today. I went in short sleeves, so it got a little cool in the shade, but that just let me push harder. It’s the first time I’ve been under 9 minutes miles for this distance since the beginning of June. I really like this cooler weather for doing cardio outside!"If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done."

10/18/2015 – Spinning at Home
Rode 37 miles in 1:46:00 on the spin bike at home. Too cold out this morning for me to want to go and run, so I watched the season opener of Gold Rush while spinning away."If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done."
