Note
All day packing, carrying, cleaning.. moving all our stuff over to the house, returning the apartment keys. Not an ideal situation though while the owners of the house, our friends with kids that are moving to VT were staying in the house this weekend, back for a wedding, moving out the last of their things.. so our stuff is there, still need to clean and set up.

Note
So I slept some on the train back to New Haven + about 3 hrs before getting up at 6am, so Thursday was pretty tough.. sleepy. (The night before was so worth it though!) Got home from work exhausted and I don't think training would have been a good idea.

Note
Mike's Birthday. I had gotten him tickets for Mets vs. Cardinals. Up at 5am, intense day at work, straight to the train (secretly planned for some friends to meet up with us on the train), game went to extra innings, we left before it was over, got home about 2.30am. Beautiful evening, we had a really good time!

Listening to radio o-ringen at work, so impressed of how well it works! And when they're done reporting from the arena, they go straight to o-ringen torget (the square) with interviews, games like "floppa Foppa" and more, they keep on going till 9pm so 3pm here, it's great!

Woke up and grabbed my computer. Watching results, gps-routes and listening to radio o-ringen :-) Looks like dad had a tough first stage.

Trail run in the pouring rain, sweet! Lots of obstacles kept me on my toes: slippery roots, rocks, flooded trails etc A man carrying a shovel (?) stopped me to ask "if I like running in precipitation"..

No training but we still had an all day work out, cleaning and packing, moving stuff. Sweaty.

trail run (+ road run) 30:39 [2] 6.11 km (5:01 / km) +89m 4:41 / km
Quick loop around Maltby lakes. Refreshingly nice and rainy out, easy to breathe. Clearly had trouble finding the straighter way up to the trails and also to find my way back to the car.

bike 3:00:12 [2] 71.16 km (2:32 / km) +728m 2:25 / km
Bike ride with Mike. Started early but it got pretty hot towards the end. Took a break in Devil's Hopyard and hung out by the waterfall, saw a water snake. We did a lot of climb and some scary downhills. Stopped in Chester for lunch at Simon's marketplace, awesome! Many waterstops. Thighs and butt tired.

trail run 57:07 [2] 11.36 km (5:02 / km) +83m 4:51 / km
Did a loop at west rock. Hot (32°C), humidity didn't feel too bad because there was some wind. Mostly running in the shade which is nice. Ran into a big family of wild turkey. Was looking forward to make a stop by the lake and splash some water in my face but water was warm so didn't really have the effect I wished for.
Friday Jul 16, 2010 #
trail run 39:19 [1] 7.41 km (5:18 / km) +96m 4:59 / km
Same loop at East Rock with Mike. Brutal humidity. Sweated a lot. Left knee numb and glute/lower back sore but felt alright.
Note
Near the covered bridge it smelled like fresh wood chips and I associate that smell with o-ringen (you who have camped at o-ringen know why). Wish I was going this summer! Next year!

I was being cautious to if something was hurting my glute/back, but it all just felt really good. We used balls and light dumbbells for some of the exercises. Forgot to look at the clock and stayed an extra 5min.
Now afterwards the pain-area feels sore but not too bad.

Yep, I definitely worked the glute/back area that has been hurting.. not sure if it's good or bad, I had too much fun to not give it my all! Less crowded which was nice.

trail run 39:46 [1] 7.18 km (5:32 / km) +84m 5:14 / km
Jogging with Mike on the flat trails by East Rock. Light rain, nice out.
Big group of girls with yoga mats doing some kind of class under a roof in the park, I've seen them before, then it was a nicer evening and they were on the basket ball court. Looks like fun!
I've been having trouble with my left leg for a while now (started last fall sometime). It's been moving around from hamstring, to glute, to knee.. and really I just need to find a good doctor I trust. Lately my glute has been hurting and I feel pain in my lower back. Sunday evening Mike and I went for a walk with lots of uphill walking and maybe that was what made it flare up, cause since then it's been pretty bad. Hard to get comfortable at work while sitting down hurts.
The jog felt good though. Loosened it up, stretched well afterwards.

Evening bike ride along the shoreline with Mike, Matt & Iris. Nice breeze. Matt & I pushed it over the causeway, he wanted us to stay real close and get the windshield advantage but I didn't dare to. Stopped at the rocky beach to skip some rocks and at some friend's beach house for beer.

trail run 48:15 [3] 10.1 km (4:47 / km) +97m 4:34 / km
Oh it's been awfully hot and humid the last couple of days. You get exhausted just by walking outside. Went for a run on the trails, tried to run fast cause the flies + deer flies were totally annoying. Close to the buddhist peace monument and the hay house I saw a weird man walking on the trail, without a shirt and singing something.
We're staying in Saybrook while Mike's brother Matt and his girlfriend Iris are here visiting from Austria.

Walk to & from Tennessee beach. It was really hot when we left the house in San Rafael and even if this place is only a ~20min drive away, the weather was completely different there, cold & windy from the fog. We wrapped ourselfs in towels etc and camped out in between some cliffs for picnic. Crazy waves made quite a show right infront of us.
Note
after going on some side streets in Mill Valley on our way back from the beach we're now up to 100 VW buses!

We rented bikes at Mike's bikes :-) in Sausalito, not much to choose from.. Mike got a roadbike and I got a mtb. Lots of bikers here! A mix of tourists and serious all gearded out people on custom bikes. Sausalito-Golden gate bridge-look out point-Sausalito, lunch by the houseboats-Mill valley, Peet's coffee-Sausalito

Hike with Mike, Brody, Serge & Cole from their place in San Rafael over the hill to San Anselmo for dinner (at Taco Jane's, an all organic restaurant, awesome! Yesterday we went to Weezy's organic burger place and Three Twins organic icecream place). Saw eucalyptus trees and a deer with furry antlers.
Other times they've brought headlamps and hiked home too, we had placed a car there though and drove back.

I love it here! Everything is so great: nature, people, food, wine.. Don't wanna go back east.
And Mike's in heaven, well kept old cars everywhere. We're counting VW buses -89 and older, we've seen 68 so far.
