Total Distance
10.00

So, I made up for my horrible Monday by taking the kids on a bike ride. We fit their bikes and my wife's into the van, I had to ride to the park with my bike and the trailer. Rode around the half mile loop several times, then played soccer with them for a bit, then had to ride back. Total was about 5.5 miles. Later, went running - 1.5 miles, stopped to see the guys at the church I used to play B-ball with and they talked me into a game....or two.......then headed out for another 3.5. Total: 5 miles @ just under 8 min. pace: 39:35 I think. Fastest pace was 5:45 (tried to sprint at the end to finish strong)

Great day! Sorry I bashed on you earlier ;)

If you change your blog template to the triathlon-style you can separate your bike miles from run miles, and count more of your cross-training miles!

Sorry your knees hurt today, hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow.
