Hooray for not being lazy!  Again this morning I took it nice and easy.  I still don't have a full range of motion with my right arm.  But it's starting to warm up, so I don't really want to push it anyway.  The old lady regular was out this morning pumping those arms.  She was wearing less clothes than usual, so I'll struggle to get that image out of my head for the rest of the day.  Ta ta!

Like the wise poet C. Dion once said, "It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now."  I felt pretty good today.  Almost pain free.  It was 84 degrees out and I had Captain Insano sweat levels.  My average pace was 8:28.

AM Ride

Distance -  17.47 miles

Time - 1:06:29

Avg. Speed - 15.8 mph

Max. Speed - 20.9 mph

Temp - 88

It was a real nice ride to work today.  But towards the end I was wishing I was done.  I stay relatively cool while I'm in motion, but when I have to stop at a stop light, it's like baking in an oven.  And it's only gonna get hotter.

PM Ride

Distance -  17.47 miles

Time - ??? (Forgot to start my Garmin until about a mile into it.)

Avg. Speed - ??? mph (Forgot to stop my Garmin when I got home.)

Max. Speed - 24.2 mph

Temp - 103

Even though it was hot, the first 2/3 of the ride was very enjoyable.  The last 1/3 was against the wind.

I wanted to get up early and go on a long double digit run this morning.  But late yesterday afternoon I found out that I had to take my son out and set up flags for his Boy Scout troop.  And we had to do a double shift because so many people were out of town.  So we got up at 6am and finished at 7:30.  I immediately got changed because it was already warming up.  I decided to run south down Ellsworth towards the San Tans because I figured it was uphill and when I turned around I would be going downhill.  I went 4 miles and decided that was enough.

Time - 1:11:21 (avg. pace 8:52)

Splits - 8:26, 8:34, 8:45, 9:14, 8:37, 8:56, 9:02, 9:19, 0:29
