Bicycling 50:00 [1]
Back in the saddle. Felt good. I'm still congested, and coughing, but pain/fever is mostly gone and I'm a lot less weak.
For the first 2 miles, from the bus stop to Linnaean Street through Harvard Square, the schoolbus and I were playing leapfrog. The kids and the bus monitor were waving to me at first, but then they got tired of it.
On the way back from Arlington, I stopped to chat with my friend Dave Clemens who was crossing the street in front of me. A few blocks later, Harvey drove past in his red van, and I pulled some ill-advised moves in heavy two lane traffic to get over to his other side and talk with him and his dog Sally on the move. I like running into people I know.
No shadow for the groundhog. Kids were bummed - they want a real winter.
