Woke up in the middle of the night for some reason, so I checked the WOC sprint-qual results.. then back to sleep for a while before waking up to listen to the finals. We haven't set up internet yet so restricted to my phone I didn't bother trying to get the web-tv. Spent my morning baking blueberry muffins listening to the crazy Norwegian commentators and checking online results.

We picked up Rob & Becky and headed to Old Saybrook to go for a bike ride. Such a nice day! Had lunch in Chester, in the middle of Sunday farmers market with goats passing right by our table (!)
Later we took the bus down to the beach, water was clear and pretty salty, best dip I've had in the Sound.
Fun day!

Well, my training has felt kinda blah lately.. just doing whatever without a goal, various injury problems turning me off, hot & humid, moving took some time & energy, different summer events being more tempting. Guess that's ok but want to get back on track and get some structure & motivation soon!

Ride at West Rock with Mike. Lots of roots and rocks that make it difficult and slow at times.

So I looked up where the girl that subbed at our gym normally teaches. Found she does a class Fridays at the Edge gym in Milford BUT of course today someone was subbing for her!! Annoying. Didn't like this lady's class that much. Very nice facility and studio though. Will try again to catch Calla's class!

Group-run! with Becky, Mattias, Boris & Mike =)
Started from our place, red trail over to Lake Wintergreen, a lap around the lake and back. An evil rock catched my foot and I hit the ground, not too bad though. On the way back, Mike went up front and really picked up the pace - must have been the new shoes..
Then grilling and fun afterwards, Kat, Rob & Marcia were also there.

Drove down to the gym, now that we're further away I don't have time to bike.. found out that the pilates teacher is on vacation for two weeks, back home.. went for a run instead. Red trail to green to blue to yellow. Rocky. Heavy legs. Great to have trails just out the door! :-)

Went for a little ride with Mike. I did some running with the bike/carrying the bike where it was too tricky, steep and so on. Fun!
