Flock of Seagulls

Last week I was psyched for barely scraping below the 260 mark but now I can say that I'm firmly in the 250's to stay.  Rode again today with my friends, The Flock.  Here they are on our ride today.  From left to right:  Dean, Lewis, Rosanne, Quinn, Therese, Jackie, Celeste, Mack, and Sarah.

The sky was overcast so not as brutally hot but the air seemed heavy and thick.  Did 42 miles again and finished with the Derby Hill.  Finished strong too with a 22mph sprint towards the end - avg was 14.9mph with avg heart beat of 152.  This week I also tried a running group that meets at Memorial Park.  I liked the company but wasn't wild about the track.  It was crushed granite, which was fine, but I didn't like the traffic noise.  Regardless, we did 3 miles and enjoyed some downtime in a trendy wine bar.  Still not getting my swimming in like I should but feeling good about my progress overall.  I really like the Couch to 5K program for running.
