I can't tell if I am sick again or have crazy allergies. Sore throat, sinus headache, super stuffy, starting to get a cough. Exactly what I had a few weeks ago. My point being that I don't feel very good so I have not been getting out to exercise. The forecast says this week is the end of our nice fall weather ... winter is coming. So .. I made myself get out on my bike today. 11 miles. Just up through AF. Felt good. I hope to get a couple more long rides in outside but I don't know if that will happen. I always have my trainer!

Saturday -- 30.46 mile ride. It was such a perfect day for a ride. Jessie came down and we went and rode the west side of the lake. I can tell with these rides that I am improving.

Saturday -- I ran! First run since my tri (well kinda, I did run at the gym last week, so this is my first run outside). Between 3.5 and 4 miles. I didn't wear my watch. I felt great! It was one of my better runs in a long time. I had eaten about an hour before I went and I had a bit of a stomach ache. At one point I had to stop and walk because I really thought I was going to throw up. I was super bugged because I felt so good leg and breathing wise. I should not have been walking. But I really could have thrown up if I would not have willed myself not to. It was weird. All and all it was a great run.

I got a trainer for my bike. I set it up and road for about 25 min. It is much harder than riding outside ... kinda like being on a treadmill.

Monday -- Pilates. Great workout. Full reformer and kettle bells.

Tuesday -- 11 mile bike ride. 45 min. (ish) It was so windy that it felt like I was riding in slow motion. Good ride.

Saturday -- 20 mile bike ride. 1:13. I road up into Alpine. Came back down past Lone Peak high school. I was almost home and realized I was not going to get 20 miles. It is harder than you think to get miles in. So I did another loop through American Fork. I need to figure some routes that give me some long miles. It was a great ride. Perfect weather!
