A 5K, Family Pool Time and A Great Cross Ride

Today was great, it started with Lapinski, the Keatings and I running the Warrenville Firecracker 5K. It hurt 5K's always do. A week after Buffalo Springs I didn't know what to expect. I wanted to run a sub 20 but that didn't happen, I ended up at 20:20 still faster than last year so overall pretty happy about that. Amy and Landon came out to watch and once we were done we headed downtown Naperville to walk around and grab some Einsteins, once we got there I could really feel my calves still a bit sore I am guessing from last week.

Once we got home packed up and walked on up to the neighborhood pool, this was actually quite relaxing as playing in the pool and swimming around actually loosened the legs up a bit. Hung out for a couple of hours, manged to get sun burn on my armpits and than home so Amy and Landon could take a nap. I quickly watched the Tour that kicked off today and should be an exciting three weeks, can't wait for the cobbles on Tuesday may make things real interesting.

Since those two were napping I decided to ride the cross bike, I wanted to try some trails so I rode over to Knoch Knolls park and I had no idea where the trails led, I just winged it and rode. What a blast, below is some of the trails I rode.
