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.

The good news is that it didn't effect my run at all yesterday! A scuffed up knee isn't a badly bruised one in my case so I'll take it. Just hope it heals up in the next week before the HIM.

The running group I meet with every Thursday morning has rewards at certain mile marks you reach with them. Yesterday I & the woman I ended up paced with got our 100mile Mizuno tech shirts. Just another great reason to get out & running by 5:30a.m.

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.
