| Fun workout this morning! 1.25 hours on the bike, part of it at time trial pace, followed by a 30 minute easy run, followed by another 30 minutes on the bike, all of at time trial pace, finally followed by a 30 minute run with 20 minutes at tempo pace. By the last run, my tempo pace was not really tempo pace, it was only about 8.00 minutes a mile, but it certainly felt like tempo effort! On the running bits, which I did around Lake Padden, I saw many people dressed in tutus, dressed, and other wild garb running and walking around the lake. After the tempo bit of my last lap, I saw a friend of mine and jogged with her to slow down a bit before I was done. She told me it was a marathon maniac event - they have to run around the lake 10 times! I even saw a dog in a tutu. Going to an event this afternoon called "Burning Beast", where all kinds of meat, wild and tame, will be BBQd. All the meat is sustainably raised. I will ask if it is kindly slaughtered.

| Yoga this morning, followed by an easy run with a friend. I used the Hattoris; I still haven't taken them out for longer than six miles. In the late afternoon I went mountain biking. We were out for 2.5 hours, but I'm only counting 6 crosstraining miles. I don't know why, really. The effort seems just as much as road biking or something. The mountain biking around here is, sadly for me, not easy mountain biking. The climbs up are generally my best part. The routes down are either steep, covered in large rocks or logs or drops, or too narrow. I would LOVE to ride sometime on some easy trails. Anyway, fun time!

| A wet muddy easy run in the woods by the cabin. Kept it easy to rest up a bit for tomorrow's duathlon. Too rainy here to get on the bike, but I am back in Bellingham this afternoon, and will ride a bit if its dry.
