What's in your work bag?

While looking for a pen during a work meeting on Friday I pulled out a pen with a piece of moleskin stuck to it...very nice professional touch.  It got me wondering what else was buried in there.  So today is clean out my work bag day and besides a piece of moleskin I found Airborne, 2 tubes of lotion, toothpaste, Purell, 7 nice pens (I knew they were in there somewhere), last years USAT and ACA licenses, an old Comcast bill stub, 2 baggies, my reading glasses (hmm guess I should try to wear them), a little tag I was going to put on my running shoe with my emergency contact info on it, random scraps of paper reminding me to do something, my Burt Bees lipstick (yes I do put this on sometimes so I'm less likely to be mistaken for a student at the schools I visit), and best of all a gift card to the Boulder Book Store.  I think my shoulder will thank me that my bag is a little lighter and less cluttered now.

After my mid season break I'm back in the swing of training.  Yesterday Doug and I took the bus to Nederland and almost 6 hours later arrived back home.  Doug has explored lots of "secret" trails and after playing on the Nederland trails we are able to ride singletrack almost all the way back to Boulder.  I only had one slight meltdown (aka bonking) but Doug shoved some fruit leather in my mouth and I was ready to go again.  Today I did a long run and it was hot.  We haven't had many hot Summer days this year and I never workout in the middle of the day so I got my butt kicked by the heat.  Sad thing is it isn't even as hot as it will be Worlds.  I'd better start my sauna training soon.
