Notes:

• Oh my gosh, Tuesday’s run! It was in the low 80s, but the humidity and dew point were hella low, I ran mostly in the shade, and there was a slight breeze, so it felt amazing out! Yay!
• There are no classes where I teach for a week starting Thursday, so I had Friday off. Which meant I got to swim without sore arms (because I usually go right after class)! I felt really fast… at first. Ha ha.
• My RAGBRAI packet came this week. Yay! Less than two weeks until the day we ride (and one week until it all kicks off!).
• I’m glad I was able to do most of my tempo workout despite Saturday’s high humidity (100%), high dew point (71°), and rain. I am not sure how much my body liked it – I had “speed work” stomach for several hours after.
• I had such an excellent ride with xaarlin on Sunday! Gosh, it’s so much less boring to ride WITH someone (duh). More about the ride tomorrow!
