Skipped the run on Friday, with much guilt, and later was SO thankful!! Rode the Loon Lake loop trail in north central Idaho on Saturday with friends. I have ridden the trail, I believe, 4 times now.. the first time in 1988! It was as tough as I remember. And, if being out of shape didn't make it hard enough, I had mechanical difficulties causing my chain to suck up & get caught about 30 times on the way out. On the way back I just kept it in my middle ring, which... again due to the out-of-shape factor... didn't help. Thanks to my kind friend Tami for waiting up for me, encouraging me, nagging me to drink water :) and for also keeping it in the middle ring to feel a bit o'my pain. You rock girlfriend!
I was tired & beat when we got back but we all headed over the hot springs pool for an evening swim. Nothing quite like boiling hot springs to sooth tired muscles.

Camped that night in McCall & took our girls (3 & 5) for a bike ride on Sunday. It was our 3 year old's first time out on her new "two-wheeler". I was SO proud!! Can't wait until they're both ready to hit the trails.
