Good week of training so far. Monday was a bit of a disappointment because my 50-mile ride was shortened to 15 because of a flat tire. New tires and rim tape will make sure that doesn't happen again for a while.

Tuesday morning Mike and I ran 7.5 miles. Felt strong and comfortable during the run. This might be the last week of reasonable morning temperatures. Yesterday, Mike and I rode 38-miles doing 5x8 minute intervals with 3-minute rests. I let the heart rate sneak up near threshold, but never felt really bad. This morning, John and I ran a couple of bridge loops downtown. The humidity was nasty, but the temperature was bearable.

Not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. I leave for Seattle early Saturday morning. I have a couple of running routes picked out for while there. Green Lake seems to be a popular spot. There is also a nice park with trails near downtown. There is also some paths along the water downtown.
