run/walk 1:50:00 6.25 mi (17:36 / mi) +93m 16:49 / mi

Long day on the trails at Clinton. Walked to warm up and cool down; 9 repeats of 9 jog/1 walk in between.
Mike was a saint this morning. He was supposed to go with me, but he let me sleep in, despite the pending heat. Then, just as we arrived at the park, I realized I had left my water bottles at home. So he turned around. At this point, he changed his plan, and decided to run from home, in order to be be back for the start of the TdF.
I was afraid I would be really tired today, but I felt better than I expected. Trail conditions were great, and there was an occasional gust of wind. I also carried a map with trails and contours. All together, helped make the time more pleasant.

worked from home today. Started early, too, so I could go out running right at 4:00. Nice and relatively cool out.

fence 30:00 [1]
More skills tonight. It was fun. But very strange to finish exercising, and the only part that is tired is your right arm.

I was supposed to train tonight, but I wimped out. (No, Valerie, I'm just kidding. It was a planned rest day :)
The last three times I've stepped on my scale, I've gotten the exact same weight, down to the decimal place. Too weird. So tonight I changed the batteries, stepped on the scale, and....got the exact same weight. This would be good if I was trying to maintain my weight. But I want it to go down, down, down....

So, we have a difference of opinion in our house. When we first saw this house, we noticed that the refrigerator door opened the wrong way. The first thing we did after buying the house was try to reverse the doors, but discovered it couldn't be done on our model. It's one year later and the question is: do we live with the refrigerator as is, or replace it (and donate it)? It is also missing an ice maker, which we'd like to have. Here's a rough sketch of our kitchen. The X is the refrigerator, and the P is the pantry. To the left of the refrigerator is some counter space (bad drawing on my part :)
So, what would you do?
live with it
replace it

Train Like Others
A few years ago, I spent one week writing my logs like others' styles. This month, I'm going to occasionally train like someone else. Today, I replicated Spike's daily commute.
It was tough going up the hills on the way out, especially since I was already tired from riding them yesterday. And the Mississippi hill on the way back was really tough; I had to stop a few times.
Of course, it helped that we stopped for breakfast at the Global Cafe in between rides :)
