Comments: It was an OK ride, but I'm having a little trouble with my bike. It's squeaky. I have to see if I can lube something or tighten something or both.

Distance: 13.1 miles

Time: 2:07

Pace: 9:41 per mile

Stretch: Yes

Weekly mileage: 13.1 miles

Cumulative mileage: 441.8 miles

Tomorrow: Cross training

Comments: I was viewing this half marathon as a 13 mile pace run. I went out way, way too fast. My first mile was 8:30! However, I never let my pace drop below 10:00, and my overall pace was OK. Now I just need to run twice that distance in twice that time!

Bike c. 10 m

Tomorrow: 4 miles easy?

Comments: Today's ride was a bit much. We took a very hilly route. I may well take an unscheduled day off tomorrow. Or, I may cut it down to less than 4 miles. We'll see.
