It was another great day today with temp in mid 50's and still windy.  I went out and back on 300S.  Luckily it was out into the wind and had the wind coming back.  I felt pretty good but just ran easy.  Started off real easy and came back the last half a little faster.

It was an awesome day today with temp around 70 but very windy.  I went on a 35 mile bike ride with a friend.  The wind was tough and we kept a pretty good pace.  We got stuck in a rain shower for a couple of miles so got soaked.  My hand was a little sore from the road vibrations but is doing better and hopefully will be back to normal in a couple of weeks.

It was a little cooler today (48) but still nice and less wind.  I felt sluggish and tired this morning.  Probably a result from the longer than normal bike ride yesterday.  My legs are still not used to that and I could feel it today.  Because of that I just took it easy today.  I don't even know the pace since my Garmin battery died after about 1.5 miles.  No problems with the foot so I am going to continue to try to get back to full time running then slowly build up the miles.

Another warm day with temp around 60 but super windy.  I went for an 18 mile bike ride today and pushed the pace pretty good.  The wind was horrible.  Some of the times I was going into the wind I was working hard but was barely moving.  It was awesome fun when I was going downwind just wish there had been more downwind.  I ended up with a 17.5 mph average which was bad considering how much the wind slowed me down.  Looking forward to getting out without any wind but spring in Indiana it is pretty much expected.

Gulf Shores, AL:  Drove all day yesterday to get here so didn't run.  I got out this morning for a few miles but the girls were excited to get to the beach so I didn't go very far.  It was an awesome day and very warm.  I felt pretty good running nothing special.  I did tweak my achilles on the beach today playing volleyball.  Going to have a couple of days off to get it better.  This injury is starting to get very old.
