Training Log Archive: Bash

'Bent and I rode to the rail trail to meet Goose and Coach LD, who had ridden up from Bolton. We had a great catch-up chat while riding to Tottenham for my first visit to the Café Classique. I've only had one other latte since the mid-March shutdown and it wasn't very good so I *really* appreciated this one - and the banana bread that went with it. :)

Time is starting to run out for the Coast Mountain Trail Running Summer Scavenger Hunt so I did the Naked Run today. Naked as in "no technology", which I'm sure is exactly what you were thinking.

So I didn't have a phone or GPS watch. I didn't wear my glasses. There is technology in my shoes and sports bra and probably even my socks but I don't think that contravened the rules.

Because I like numbers, I ran the 1-ish km trail loop from our front door nine times. The instructions said I could look at a clock indoors before and after the run so I also have a time. That makes my nerdy heart happy. :)

Covid-style funeral visitation for Patricia Lopez, a triathlete friend who died tragically last week when a double dump truck cheated a light. I've been avoiding indoor gatherings but this was so devastating that I wanted to be there for her husband and family. She only became an athlete in recent years and she accomplished so much in a short time. She volunteered, helped and encouraged others, and I never saw her without a smile.

An unexpected passing always serves as a reminder to appreciate the people in my life, tell them how awesome I think they are, and make the most of every day.

P.S. You are all awesome.

Tree Hugger ABC 1.0 sold conditionally today. We've had a lot of fun with it and we'll miss the ease of condo life but it's time for new adventures. :)

Nice stop at the Waddtage on the way home from Killarney. We'd been hiking all night, and Hammer and Etoile were kind enough to let us lie on their deck with our blankets and pillows while we chatted. :)
