Running With LeMire

15 mile bike ride this morning with Jamie in which we averaged just over 15 mph. It was a nice and easy ride with some very big uphills into a 15-20 mph wind. The wind definitely help keep you cool though and not over heat.

Played hockey also again this evening: 1 goal, 1 assist playing defense. Not to bad of a night.

Easy 3 miles at 7:34 average pace over the lunch hour. It was pretty darn humid, windy and 83 degrees. Satisfied that I got out the door and actually ran.

While up in Minnesota to pick up the boys over the 4th of July we headed over to Cross Lake Mn to participate in what turned out to be a great family event. Joining me in the 5K was Jamie, my sister, and cousin Jason followed by the boy's, my nephew and cousins daughter running the kids races. Was a great time even though my race wasn't the greatest but considering my lack of training over the last month it was still a pretty good time. The one issue I had was my left calf upper achillis cramped up something feirce with about .5 mi left in the race which dramatically slowed me down. I ended up second in my age group and 7th overall to a bunch of high school kids 15 & 16 years of age and the 2nd overall place was a 31 year old. Not a bad showing by 2 30 year olds placing in the top 10. The cramping may have been caused by to much fun in the sun Friday along with beer. GReat event overall!
