Running into June: Run week 6/1-6/7/2009

Susan, that scavenger hunt sounds like a lot of fun.

I was supposed to swim yesterday, but sometime in the last week I moved to Seattle without anyone telling me. It's been raining for a solid week here and it's supposed to rain for another 5-7 days. I just can't swim in an outside pool in the brrrrr rain. Call me a weenie, but I can't.

Hey! Rain God, this is the high desert. We're supposed to have either snow or sun. What's with this rain business???

Anyway, I decided to go for a run instead. I did a one hour hilly trail run starting from behind my house. I had to do the beginning hill twice because about 3/4 mile into the run I realized that the dog from one of the guys doing some work on my house had joined me. Normally I'd just keep running and let the dog find it's way home, but this isn't the dog's home and I didn't want it to get lost. So I looped back home and left the dog with it's owner and then went back up the hill. Ugh.

Well something is definitely wrong with the derailer on my road-bike. I have had 2 total derailments and 2 partial that locked up my pedals. Fortunately & unfortunately for me it only meant for one fall. Wed. I was doing hill 20mi of hill training & went down scuffing up my knee enough to make it bleed down into my sock.

It was a good run. Fast. I knew the woman I was paced with slowed her pace a little bit to have some conversation & I sped up so as to not slow her down, but was still able to talk. Sort of.

Urlea- I hope that you are getting your bike looked at before you get hurt and before your HIM. As for talking during running - there is a reason I tend to run alone...
