slow going.

So, my responsibilities as Ben's wrench should have started already. But they haven't. The process of collecting bits n' pieces of two new bikes - his responsibility - has stretched to this point of less than 2 weeks before the first race day. I blame the wedding, and the honeymoon, and the pina coladas, but it sucks that he's not training on his race bikes yet. I have a feeling Friday night's plans involve two shiny green bikes which have headsets n' bottom brackets right now, but that's about it.

I ran with Amanda last night. I really enjoy it when we run together. Both she and I were having crampy-calves problems so we sorta took it easy and let Molly run the show. Amanda's nearing her first 5k and I'm super excited for her.

This morning I did another no-pressure 3 mi, this time in a cool rain that felt great. Somewhere in the middle of "Judy and the Dream of Horses"* I got my rhythm back and really enjoyed the run. I have a feeling I'm not as slow as I think- that I may actually be faster than before the wedding. We'll leave it to the gizmo to decide. I think I'll bring the gizmo back for a run out to Northerly Island for our team photo.
*don't you hate when people clap at shows? drives me crazy. it's right up there with singing along too loud or talking during a show.
