Tired is an understatement

Brandon is crazy! Saturday Skyler and I rode our bikes to UCI (21 miles) for a track workout. Brandon met us there. We did a one mile warm-up. Then we started doing 800m sprints around the track. 800m is probably the hardest distance to run because it's too far to sprint but too short for pacing yourself. I ran 7- 800m (1/2 mile) sprints in 3:30 minutes each. Skyler did 10 and Brandon did 12. We ended with a one mile cool-down. I was so tired because I was feeling sick, it was hot, and I was pooped. After the workout, Skyler and I rode the rest of the way to the beach where we met Kenny and Jill. Then we rode home on the river trail. We were gone for 6 hours and both got so sunburnt.

Today I will probably run. I need the miles to be ready for the half marathon.
