I caught Gracie peeking in the Office window! Prior to this morning, she’s been
unwilling to venture around the north side of the house. She got stung in that area by
the Invisible Fence the first week she was with us. I would like this area to be part of her
territory because there are a few bothersome squirrels that hang out there.

Early Mass followed by Pancakes. Laundry and Sims3. I won a major prize at the St.George Corn Days raffle. Precisely the amount it’s going to cost to fix my car. Grateful am I.

Bayside Out&Back w/Hanna&Gracie: 82 minutes, 4.69 miles, 17:27/3.2, HR=100. Given this morning’s muggy stillness, I figured we would get eaten alive on the trail.

LuceLine East w/Hanna&Gracie: 95 minutes, 5.11 miles, 18:36/3.2, HR=95. The biting black flies and mosquitos!

Tour De Tonka: 485 minutes, 97.14 miles, 12.0 mph, HR=125. We rode the first 30 miles in the rain. . Just a little disappointed that it wasn’t a nice even 100 miles. Very proud of the fact we finished, given we’ve only ridden about ten miles so far this year. My legs are sore! Sunburn adds insult to injury. I can’t sit still. That may in part be due to the caffeine laced jelly beans I was eating. Or, because I’m afraid I won’t be able to get up.

West on the LuceLine w/Hanna&Gracie: 83 minutes, 4.78 miles, 17:24/3.3, HR=94.

My little car’s “Service Engine Soon” light came on again today.

Bayside Out&Back w/Hanna&Gracie: 82 minutes, 4.67 miles, 17:26/3.3, HR=104. My bottom left front tooth hurts.

We were John & Rebecca’s dinner guests. We enjoyed their photos of Italy. I’ve got all the photos from the Family Reunion and will get them posted ASAP.

Stubbs/Maxwell Loop w/Steve,Hanna&Gracie: 103 minutes, 5.78 miles, 17:49/3.1, HR=106. We did a bit of kitchen rearranging. Laundry.
