Run and Ride

Had a TNT Running Clinic this morning. Learned a lot about, and did some drills regarding, arm position/movement, coordination ("A" and "B" skips), and stride. Also did a 1 mile benchmark run (so that our running progress can be tracked over the coming weeks). I ran the 4 laps around the track in 7 minutes and 9 seconds which is probably a lot faster than I should have done it. Oh well, will push hard for improvement.

Afterwards, Derek and I did a 2-hour bike ride starting from 635 & Park Central Drive at the north end of Anderson-Bonner Park in north Dallas. We rode down the trail to White Rock Lake, did 2 loops around the lake, and then biked back to our cars. About 32 miles total in an hour and 50 minutes. The 17+ mph pace was actually quite fast considering that the trail to the lake was winding and there were several spots where we had to stop for traffic lights, stop signs, and/or pedestrians.
