| track 40:00 [3] | |
| Jeff called me up and invited me to do a track workout with him and Hilly. This certainly saved me from the temptation of not running. ran over and back at chatting pace.
wanted to improve from last week. did the first a little faster, kept to 2mins rest a little longer, and added one rep. times reported are truncated, as allowed by Sam's rules. 66 (2:00) 69 (2:00) 68 (2:00) 69 (?) * stupid ross, I deleted all my splits, can't remember this one (2:00) 71 (2:30) 71 (2:30) 70 | ||

| biking 28:00 [3]6.0 mi (4:40 / mi) | |
| Biking to work. after work met up with a friend and we had dinner at Brown Sugar.... mmm happy to make this a more regular food stop for me. afterwards we met some other people and bought ice cream and cones from the supermarket and had a fine dessert. I got abused for choosing to buy a half gallon of Maple Walnut ice cream. apparently this is an old person flavor. As is Butter Pecan. Well as soon as they start selling coconut ice cream in Shaws.... there were lots of coconut sorbets but I really wanted ice cream. | ||

| biking 56:00 [3]12.0 mi (4:40 / mi) | |
| biking to and from work. I'm usually pretty sweaty when I get in, but I wander around the lab setting up my experiments for the day, until I dry off a bit. Then I change and pretend like my hair isn't all sweaty still. | ||
| orienteering 45:00 [3]5 km (9:00 / km) | |
| CSU summer training. Contour only map of Prospect with streamers set by Pia and Mark. Sadly mark hurt his back and was at home resting, not enjoying the fruits of his labor.
guessing at the time and the distance. Time... I deleted my splits accidentally. Distance... too lazy to go get the map from next door. contour only was tough especially at first. started to get the hang of it, and when I wasn't lost contour only was much easier than having to do all the map simplification myself. I did get lost on one of the longer legs especially. I was able to relocate but I think that part of that was knowing that area of the forest well enough from previous excursions. Saw Pia and Nikolai at the top of the ski slope, so I stopped with them and walked down the slope instead of finishing at the finish circle. | ||

| biking 1:15:00 [3]13.0 mi (5:46 / mi) | |
| Biking to work, from work to Jenn's, and then home after impromptu game night. I need to remember to bring tail light with me when I'll be biking at night. Head lamp is a good start, but even in the burbs of newton and brookline one can't be too careful. | ||
| road run 51:00 [3]7.0 mi (7:17 / mi) | |
| Went running with Jenn after work. It's been awhile since I've been on a run with Jenn. It's always a bit humbling. did a nice loop that I think was about 7 miles around brighton and newton. Then cooked some dinner and played blockus until we got sick of losing to Jenn's fiendish ways. Actually I tied twice, lost once, and one time Danner spent the whole game blocking only Jenn which let me easily waltz away with a sweet sweet victory. | ||
Tuesday Jun 24 | ||
| biking 56:00 [3]12.0 mi (4:40 / mi) | |
| Biking to and from work. At least I think. I'm backlogging this, and last week is starting to get fuzzy already. Oh I remember, Sam was supposed to leave on Tuesday, but she got stuck state side one more night. so I got to hang out with her Tuesday night, which made up for me being pretty useless company on Monday. | ||

| orienteering 31:00 [3]3.5 km (8:51 / km) | |
| Newton Street O sprint style training set by Jeff. it was raining before the start which made it hard to get really excited about going fast. Also, I got surgery this morning on two Pilar cysts on my scalp ( my lucky bumps) getting them removed. The doctor told me afterwards not to exercise for a week until the stitches came out. I said how about running. she said definitely not. I didn't say anything because I didn't think it would be polite to tell her I had no intention of following her advice. anyways, I took it kinda easy, and also had some difficulty with changes on the map. Especially the extra fences on my route choice to 3 and the lack of clearing at control 9.
Sam easily caught and passed me, but to be fair I actually found and touched control 9 and 10 which both had groups of people loitering nearby. The pot smokers didn't seem to mind me running through their midsts. After the run my stitches were a little sore. Judy cured that with mint flavored tylenol and dinner at Bills. I split a pizza with jeff that had goat cheese, capers, artichoke hearts and caramelized onions. That sounds pretty good to me. | ||

| Note | |
| Wedding near Ovid NY. Highschool friend got married on the edge of Cayuga Lake, a really nice ceremony and reception. I especially liked the "candy bar" which was dishes filled with really good candy that matched the blue and white theme of the party. lots of sweettarts and lindor truffles. mmmm.
then 6 hour drive home, I listened to a book on CD which helped pass the time. | ||
