It was a little cooler today (85) and some light wind.  I went on a 31 mile bike ride.  Just rode easy today with a friend for 20 miles then did another 11 by myself.  We just talked and crusied along.  I picked up the pace some the last 10 miles but nothing special.  Nice day to be out.

It was cooler this morning (68) and felt really good compared to the last week.  I felt ok.  My legs were a little tired from using the different muscles biking.  After a couple of miles got into a good flow and felt good the rest of the way.  I added in 8 x 100m strides at the end to get some leg turnover going.  Those went pretty good as well.  Trying to get the body back used to doing some faster stuff.

The last couple of days have been crazy with work, family, etc.  I hate that I didn't get any running in but I guess sometimes life gets in the way.  This has been a weird summer of running.  I just can't seem to string together a good stretch of running.  Hopefully things will settle down soon and I will get back into a normal routine.  This morning it was cooler but still humid.  I felt good and just ran easy.  Nothing special just glad to get out again.

PM:  28 mile bike ride with Kris.  It was a casual pace and we talked alot.  Turned out to be a great day with temps in the low 80's.

It was a really nice morning today.  It was cooler (67) and no wind plus it felt like the humidity was down.  I was kind of sluggish this morning.  I have been staying up too late and need to get back into a better sleep pattern.  Just a lot going on right now but hopefully it will settle down soon.  I just took it easy for the first part but then started picking up the pace after 5 miles and got it down to around MP for the last mile and a half.  It was good to shake the legs out toward the end of the trip.  Heading out to Hawaii tomorrow for business so hoping I can get in some good running while I am there.  It is tough on travel days because it is such a long day of flying.
