    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!

    Thanks!

    I'm pretty much addicted to the training now. If I don't hit the gym or run or bike, I just don't feel right that day.

    I'm to be better shape and healthier every year for many years to come!

    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!

    10/13/2015 - Run at Work


    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!

    Biked 25.2 miles in 1:22:10, 18.4 mph average speed. Another great ride today. I was solo once more, but still managed to keep up a good pace. It was a nice day, cool enough that I could push hard without overheating.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    10/20/2015 - Run at Work


    Ran 7.85 miles in 1:08:56, 8:47 per mile. Great run today. Overcast and chance of rain, but 15 degrees warmer than yesterday, so good weather for running. We started out at a sub 9 minute mile pace and stayed there the whole run.

    Ran 6.60 miles in 57:28, 8:42 per mile. Really good run today. I told my buddy we didn’t need to push the pace today, and we go out and take 5 seconds per mile off of yesterday’s pace.... Somedays you just feel like going fast.

    10/22/2015 - Bike at Work


    Biked 25.4 miles in 1:26:35, 17.6 mph average speed. Good ride today. I was a little tired after the 2 fast runs the past 2 days, so we didn’t try and go crazy with the pace. This was a hilly route, so some good work was done. My legs are definitely feeling it!
