A long trail run with Sam. She is so fast, I just couldn't keep up with her. She had to carry me around most of the way, but that's ok, because she is super strong. She did make me run the last bit, but then she tried to drive out of Hale without me. After chasing the car for 4 minutes, she finally took pity on me and came back to get me. Isn't she nice? All in all, a great run.

I'd like to point out that Sam is a punk, and she took it upon herself to post this run. Most of it is true except for the driving off without me part. can't even get up off the couch to get ice cream without logging out of attackpoint.

Was really fun to work on the threshold segments, cruising down some very narrow overgrown singletrack, and it made me feel so fast!

biking to and from work. Not much more to add here, except that I stopped at Trader Joe's to buy food for dinner, and wanted to buy the whole store.

Biking to and from work. A really gorgeous morning. I had an excellent AOWHN moment as I biked past a man illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant. The fun part was that the guy was trying to be nonchalant as he stood directly in front of the hydrant and hoped that no one would notice. :)

swimming at Walden Pond with Jenn. We parked at the highschool and jogged the .8 miles over to the pond. Then we did a lap and back of the length of the pond. Jenn swims straighter and faster than I do, but is a little compulsive about fixing her goggles, which gives me time to catch up with her :)

I think I've been convinced that it would be fun to do a triathlon with her at the end of August in Chicopee. It's a shortish one, with a half mile swim, 30 miles of biking and 3 miles of running ( I think, don't quote me). still seems like it could be a good experience.

the running half of game night was canceled so I just biked to and from work. squeaky bike partly from the chain needing to be greased and partly from the spokes ( or so I believe) being a bit loose on the back wheel.

we tried to play save dr. lucky at game night, but some people weren't interested in games with rules.... so we played taboo instead.

Biking to and from work. Gave some thought to going to a climbing gym tonight, but gave the idea up because Sam got home latish from training and sitting on the sofa playing video games and watching Firefly is much easier.

hopefully will get the gumption to go climbing soon though.

C • Ooooo, Firefly, that's an awes... 2

to and fro to work I go. successfully motivated myself to bike to work even though it was raining. When I got on the bike I realized that it was hardly raining at all.... just enough to keep the prissy cyclists from riding in. This meant that I had lot's of space on the bike rack to place my bike.
