Rest.  Back is still bothering me today and I am not planning on running at all next week based on how I am feeling today.  I guess I will get back on the NSAIDs until this thing calms down a bit.

Rode 15 miles on the bike today with Meg in a little over an hour.  Pretty good workout but not as good as running.  We had one section with a 2-3 mile uphill that tested us a bit and we really tried to push and get the aerobic system working and it went well.  Coming back down was fun as well.  Time for this ride was just over an hour which would be around a 7 mile run at an easy pace.  I don't think I am going to log my cross training miles on here since I don't want to mix and mingle biking and running.  So even though I will be last on the mileage board, at least I know I am still working hard.

Another 15 miles on the bike today.  Backside was a little sore this morning since I am still getting used to sitting on the bike for an hour.  I imagine I will get used to it after a few days but today it was a little tender for the first few miles.  Same route as yesterday with a really good hill from about mile 6 - 8.5 it's about a 400 ft climb.  Spent about 1.5 miles out of the saddle pushing pretty hard.....felt good.....not to mention saved my backside from saddle sores :)

Another 15 on the bike today.  I am starting to sound like a broken record I know.  It was pretty windy today and it was right in my face for the entire uphill section of the usual course.  Backside is still sore and sitting in the saddle is painful, hopefully my butt builds up a tolerance to the seat soon or I will be standing for the whole ride.  I guess all new cyclists have to deal with a few saddle sores in the beginning.

Didn't make it out today because it was too windy.  Long night last night.  We have a boy in the ward staying with us who's single mother is in the hospital.  He caught the stomach flu that has been going around and didn't make to the bathroom in time last night.  Needless to say we were up for a while cleaning up that mess and then decided not to get up.  Hopefully I will have a chance to go out after work tonight.

Well, I obviously never made it out yesterday so today I stepped it up and went 20 miles on the bike.  The weather was perfect with absolutely no wind.  Was able to keep the speed and heart rate up where I thought they should be to reap some benefits and averaged just over 15 mph for the ride.

Nothing exciting to say, just didn't make it out today.
