After a second night of sleeping in, I felt good this morning.  I slowly drank my coffee (waiting for it to warm up a bit outside).  Finally I loaded up the Seven and headed for Marymoore.  Today's goal was 25 miles which is probably pushing it a bit since I've not been riding.  But I really want to start riding around lake Sammamish and down to Seattle, and all the other fun rides; which all require at least 25 miles.  The day was beautiful.  The back of my right ankle complained from mile 5 to 25.  I'm guessing that I'm letting my ankle move up and down a bit.  My average heart rate was 77. Rode 2.07 hours and average a little over 12 miles an hour.

I was wiped out today.  I knew I needed to get some exercise in, but also knew I didn't have much energy.  So I decided I'd work in the yard for an hour or so and thus I did.

Another Treadmill day.  I've been a bit tired so managing to get up at 5am two days in a row is almost a miracle.

Today was a treadmill day.  I managed about 45 minutes with out much umph.

I've been day dreaming about riding my road bike.  After much dreaming, I did an out and back on the Sammamish River Trail on the Seven.  A total of 15 miles.  It is the first that I've been on the road bike in several months.  My left foot complained most of the time...which is normal for the first day clipped in (in many months).  I had a great ride with amazing weather.

I spent half of the day cleaning up the yard.  I'm amazed how much manual labor takes out of me.  It was a good day.  I cleaned up and bagged all the leaves and debris from the back yard.  I still have the front yard to clean up; but I don't worry about it much until the last leaf has dropped from the sky...lest I have to do it all over again.
