running 20:00 [2]
Jogging along the riverwalk as the sun came up. Nice.

Note
Downtown San Antonio and the riverwalk would make for some interesting urban sprint orienteering terrain.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Commute. The trip home was, once again, in a steady rain with 40 degrees. It sounds a bit miserable, but actually it wasn't bad at all. My bike handles well on wet pavement, the fenders keep road spray off of me, and the lights give me a better chance of being seen by idiot drivers.
I think I need a bit better rain jacket and rain pants. The trash collectors have bright yellow Frogg Toggs: http://www.froggtoggs.com/

cycling 1:30:00 [1]
Lots of commuting related cycling today. Home to work (at 5:20 a.m.), work back home to get a shower, home back to work, work back home (40 degrees and steady rain).
other 1:00:00 [3]
"Other" = trash throwing.
I did a ride along with a solid waste crew. We began with getting a bunch of tanks at apartments, including the place Maggi and Sanna lived on 9th Street and Meadowbrook (where Peggy lived). Then we did residential, with some commercial thrown in, between 19th and 23rd and Haskell and Mass.
It was certainly a good workout. Moving along the streets, climbing up and down the step on the side of the truck, dragging cans and carts to the truck, dumping cans, pushing tanks around. I expect I'll be sore tomorrow morning.
All in all, quite a lot of work. Also, quite interesting and, at times, fun.
I was lucky in that I got perfect trash throwing weather - overcast and about 42 degrees. Not hot, not cold. Dry, too.
Hanging on to the side of the truck as it drives around was fun. Just like I imagined when I was a kid and watched the trashmen go by.

Note
Strange schedule this week - work plus some travel. My plan will be to take it easy and get in just a bit of training. I should get in some good map study. I should also put some effort on to staying cold/flu free.
cycling 45:00 [1]
The normal commute + a few errands. I took a slightly different route in - took 11th street off the hill. Steep, fast and a bit scary with traffic.
