Rest day today, Starting week 4

Finished week three yesterday and I feel fairly good.  The bike ride yesterday was wonderful with plenty of energy for the climbs up Jensen, part of Palisade and Palmer Hills for  a total of 13 miles.  My 5 runs for the week totaled 18 miles even with the drop back day for my long run, (every third week your long run drops a couple of miles to give your legs a rest).  I am not losing weight but staying at the -20 pound loss.  For now I am happy with that until I get motivated to lose again.  I received my new shoe Friday and ran in them on Saturday for my five mile long run.  So far they worked great.  I got closeouts on Salomon XR Mission Door to Trail.  $79 you can't beat that these days.  They are a neutral cushion shoe with a little stability.  They have an aggressive sole for trails and the advertising says they will work well on the road as well as the trails.  They make a more stable shoe but they weren't on sale ($140 bucks).  These are light shoes and I hope they hold up with me being 223 pounds.  We will see.  Just Run
