| Was going to go pick up those streamers at Boojum, but by the time I woke up it was kind of late already, so I opted for a long run along the river instead. It was good to get in a long run before I head out to Colorado; something I haven't done much this year.
Jefferson-JFK-Science Museum-Eliot-JFK-Jefferson, in the evening. Felt pretty good. |

| Tufts. Spent most of the day in lab meetings, after staying up until 2am to assess what I've been up to for the past 3 months. So, I took a nap when I got home and went out late again (~9:45, this time before dinner). Was thinking while I was running that the air is a little dryer at night, so it could be good conditioning for Colorado. ... Nah, it's just easier. |

| After feeling like crap the past few days I had the feeling I was on the up-and-up so I decided to take a short run over to Tufts. Unfortunately I was in the lab until nearly 8pm, so I decided to do this after dinner. Fortunately, that gave me time to get pumped by re-reading the ignorant accusations recently put forth about American sports culture (yeah, there are a lot of fat people in the US, but it has nothing to do with coaches or team sports). So by the time I got to Tufts I was feeling strong with a faster-than-usual pace, and I decided to run a mile on the track. Probably not a great idea, but what the heck. |

| Yeah, so being sick, eating dinner beforehand, and running a faster-than-usual warm-up is evidently not a PR formula, but it felt ok, and I don't think I'm any worse for it. |
