I learned that I would be traveling to Malaysia
last Friday and now 8 days later I’m on my first flight with over 24hrs of
travel still in my future. I land in
Kuala Lumpur on Halloween afternoon and a new adventure begins.
Halloween holds a special place for us, but not
for the costumes and trick-or-treaters.
Terry proposed on Halloween weekend in Italy so each year we celebrate
by going out for Italian and remembering our engagement vacation across Italia.
I couldn’t have dreamed of a better
husband and best friend. Long trips are
hard since we do so much together, so after a busy week for both of us, we
splurged for 2 nights of Italian dinners and a mountain bike to burn off some
of the calories.
The difference from our ride on Sunday and today was close to 30F. Last Sunday, I rode Flying Dog in shorts and short-sleeves and was sweating in the sun. Today, we were up high on the Deer Valley system and I had tights, warm gloves, and Smartwool socks and hat. If it wasn’t my last chance to ride, I may have stayed home but am so glad we went and it was a great time as always. I’ve already started thinking about next year’s rides and improving my technical skills.

Due to the cold weather and work, I only got out
for one trail run which was also probably my last for 2011. I didn’t even realize I dropped my lucky
“October” orange long sleeve (haven’t been shot by a hunter yet), but it showed
back up at the house a few days later.
It is now even luckier and I’m glad it found its way home!

In addition to a busy work week with visitors
from Australia for a couple days, I tried to read up on Asian business culture,
start the packing process, and knock out several errands. I also had my follow-up allergy appointment
since the celery incident. We will
review the blood work in a few weeks, but it appears there is a link between
celery, mugwort pollen, and sagebrush.
My skin tests were positive so we’ve at least got somewhere to
start.

I have a few Mailbox Monday pics waiting in the
wings, so I’ll continue to post updates from the road. I imagine I’ll have lots of material for my
blog the next few weeks, stay tuned as Giro d’Jenny takes on Malaysia.
