After 1st nap, over to Reed to check in with my summer research student #1 who is totally rocking it and thus hard to keep up with! She's coding in R, which is kinda new to me, but we're going to get to the bottom of this statistics issue, gosh darn it!

Not enough time to fully de-bug what was going on, but gave some ideas, then ran over to the gym to join the crew.

C • R 10

And a longer run with the noon runners. Ueli, Aaron and Todd today. Ueli and I ran the longer bike path as opposed to the shorter trail option due to stroller. But that was good because we were running faster anyways.

Sylvia asleep upon return, so she got to continue nap in the garage. I got in a shower *and* lunch before she woke up, which was pretty awesome.

Later had baby swimming class. Main missions of the class seem better comprehended by the older babies (blowing bubbles, only jumping in when a parent says ok, hand-over-handing on side of pool), but at least Sylvia seems to like the water and is having fun! She walked around on her own in the water, holding onto a floaty.

Last pilates class with Vicki. Very sad. It has been great to take her Pilates, and earlier, Zumba, classes at Reed for the past few years. So spoiled that fitness classes come to *us* at lunch. Hopefully we can find another good instructor (for the summer have the student's Pilates instructor, but she becomes booked again when they come back.)

A bit tired from racing yesterday, but went out for a tour with a map of SUNY Purchase to have a look while running. That skill is definitely rusty... Feel like I'm cramming for team trials.

Woo, orienteering!! Hamilton Island. And Ueli was close to me last meet, so time to try to really race. Came out 8 min ahead of him, but only because he made mistakes, so gotta keep pushing the speed!! Orienteering is highly visible, so easy, didn't have to use my compass much, but should have tried using it more just for practice - will need it next weekend!

Sylvia went around with Tom on an intermediate course. He blames her for a poor route choice... =)

2nd annual cemetery ride between division and college-wide grade reviews. What is a grade review? When the entire faculty get together and decide which students have had such academically terrible semesters that we don't ask them back. So not the happiest meetings and it's good to have a breather between them.

Wow, have been *so* sore the past few days. Like unable to walk down stairs sore. Finally getting better, but muscles still hurt to the touch.

So, pilates. Only cramped once on bridges. Also, I'm *very* inflexible.

Holy moly, legs are still so sore. Went to store with Sylvia jogging, couldn't motivate standing the pain on the way back, so walked. Jeez...
