Cycling to work.

Run home through Rock Creek Park. Stayed entirely on the east side of the creek just for a change of scenery.

Went to Screen on the Green with Dan and some other future librarians (is there a correct collective noun for librarians and/or prospective ones?) to see Superman. Found out I'd never actually caught any of the first one one TV. Also that John Ratzenberger was in it, looking weirdly young and thin (his face, at least - most of his body wasn't in the picture).

Birthday canoe outing with Dan from Georgetown up to within sight of Chain Bridge and back. Saw quite a few ducks and at least a couple of different herons plus a pair of some sort of fishing raptor (ospreys?).

C • Birthday 3

Cycling to work, slightly faster than I thought I was currently capable of. May even be the record since I moved to my current address. Surprising, though I was feeling energetic and working hard, it seeming the least I could do after skipping doing a longer morning workout.

Cycling home in the evening.

Run to work through Rock Creek Park.

Cycling home by way of PCRM.

Cycling to work by way of the aquatic center.

Would have run a bit longer but the usual clocks were nowhere to be seen so I had to simply guess as to when I'd come close to the intended workout duration.

Run home through Rock Creek Park.

Cycling to work and home with some grocery shopping along the way.

Event: 2008 Laramie Daze & US Champs
 

Cycling to work and uselessly home by way of the library and McGruders in Chevy Chase, where I realised I had left my wallet at home and had neither my library card nor any means to pay for groceries.

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks, 10 sprints up the short, steep hill, 3x100m strides and some more silly walks,

The weekend was devoted to visiting Dan's sister and her partner and their almost brand new (5 weeks) baby girl in New York. Much food and little exertion - shouldn't hurt much to rest that way for a couple of days, may even help.
