Almost Perfect, Definitely Random

All that stands between me and a perfect week of workouts is 70 minutes of running and 60 minutes of biking.  And a birthday party.

Today so far has been kind of perfect.  The weather.  The bike ride.  The funny conversations.  Its easier to go fast on the group rides because I know that someone is more likely to notice if I go flying off of the cliff on which we ride.   Of course when my nutrition (cliff blocks, gel) went flying out of my half open bento box on the way down a hill it was less than perfect.  Until I realized that my cell phone was still in my bento box  - that was perfect.  I finished my ride on the trainer at home to give myself a shot at making a run at perfect (I don't consider the fact that Thursday's run off was 18 minutes instead of 20 to put perfect in jeopardy - its my perfect and I can round up and I had already run around the block once - twice would have been weird at 10:45 pm).

I have re-concluded that I'm allergic to the pool.  I might have to find a new pool because I'd be an awful du-athlete.  I'm a bad biker and runner but an average swimmer.  But I have fun.  And I tell the boys on the group ride how to shave their legs.  Which was really a conversation I never thought I'd have.

There was a Team in Training marathon group doing a long run on the cliff on which we ride. And for the first time in a long time, I thought it might be fun to do another.

The end.
