Attitude:
The wind wasn't so bad today, but I was still going into the wind on the return trip.  I did a better job of pacing myself so I didn't feel like I was going to drop dead on the way back.  I took the visor off my helmet today which made a world of difference.  I didn't have to lift my head as far to see the road under the visor.  On the bike ride I saw the COOLEST recumbent bike.  I don't see one in my future in the next year, but I'm not sure I'll be able to resist forever.  I tried to focus on my left leg today.  It is the one with the knee that hurts when I bike.  I tried to focus on keeping my ankle more at an angle.  I noticed last ride that I was pointing that foot.  I'm going to give that a try for a while and see if my knee starts feeling better.  Today I noticed it, but it wasn't as bad as the last ride.  It is frustrating for my body to be the limiting factor in my speed.  I would like it to be something more controllable like my cardio fitness level.

The run was good.  I was breaking in some new shoes and still managed to keep it under a 9:00 min mile.  I didn't want to buy new shoes, but I'm still not ready to transition to the flats full time and I wore a hole on the inside of my regular trainers.  I seemed to have some hot spots on the bottom of my feet, but I'm thinking that will go away as I wear them in.  I saw two beautiful swans in the canal in the neighborhood.
