On my way home from seminary I was eyeing a storm coming in.  Since it never rains here, I figured I would be fine heading out on my morning bike ride. I went in, changed, got the bike out and all geared up, and then took one more look at the clouds and realized that I probably ought not go out on my ride. I put everything away and headed to the gym and rode the stationary bike for on hour.  Will there a seriousy thounder, lightning and rain storm hit. Glad I thought twice and took my ride inside.

Evening run:

5 miles TM 1% incline at 7:30 pace. I was tired before starting the run, but the run woke me up and felt good.

1 hour 4 minute lake swim. That's the longest I've swam straight since last summer. I mapped it with mapmyrun and it was exactly 2 miles. I need to be able to do those 2 miles under 1 hour. Now I have something to shoot for.

Soccer practice in the evening. It's always fun to get out and run and play with those guys.

70 minute bike ride followed by a big bucket of ice dumped on my head to complete the ALS ice bucket challage.  Thanks Ross for tagging me.  I did tag Blake and his wife though, so now they are up. Have fun.

38 mile bike ride (2 hours 1 minute) followed by a 2 mile easy run in some new shoes Blake picked up for me. I wore the Sketchers Sonics this morning and really liked them. They are a nice improvement from the Sketchers Go Run that were a little sloppy on the feet. These seem a little more responsive while maintaining a large toe box, but are still way cushy and seemed to have a bit more heal lift. I could see myself running a marathon in them.

He also picked me up a pair Sketchers Ultras which look way big with a huge cushy sole, but only way 9.1 ounces.  I'll try those out tomorrow.

10 mile TM run at 1% incline: first 7 at 8:00 pace, last 3 at 7:00 pace.

Wore my Sketcher Ultras. Wow, crazy cushion. Almost like running on pillows, but not clunky like other shoes with extra cushion.
