Mid June

6/8- ride SR trail 2.3 hours with Kristen. SR = Swamp Rabbit.  6/9 miracle hill century. 3rd to the top of ceasars head with Doug on my tail. He later has a flat after I ride ahead. Then I wait. We rejoin, then I have a flat. Took some air out of the event, but we had great support on the way. Great volunteers and such a worthy cause.  That night I developed strep throat. Next day go to CVS minute clinic and get antibiotic.  6/13: 10 min on treadmill.  6/14. Core and upperbody workout. Then bike to  -  not too hard.  6/16. Run 5.3 mile.

Hope she sticks with it.  I'm still trying to determine a event goal but no luck. Taking 3 vacation days for B2B is a concern. I would like to do a marathon swim somewhere. Diana Nyad to again attempt Cuba to FL swim soon. Inspiring.   Fitness goals are to work more on core strength and weight training and loosing fat.
