Scott F was in town. So I met him and John C for breakfast and to talk audit. Fun.

To breakfast was nice - still a bit cool from the early morning rain.

From breakfast was muggy - sun was out and the early morning rain made things sweaty.

To/from campus + an errand.

I did some mapping on a little sprint map that I started last year. The map covers the area south of Spooner Hall and includes Danforth Chapel. It is an interesting little area and some of it is a challenge to map. I have to make a lot of decisions about generalizing to keep the map legible.

I realized I haven't done any actual field checking in maybe 9-10 months. Over the winter I did a few little updates to maps, but those were when I was out for a run and would just add a feature or two.

I had to charge the tablet and load the newest version of Open Orienteering Mapper for Andiod. I had 0.8.2 and the current version is 0.8.4.

I'm not sure I trust my memory, but it seems like the new version of OOM saves maps faster and has some better features for using templates.

It was hot out.

MTB on the paved bike paths. Not far and not fast, but nice to get out and move around a bit. We've had pleasant-ish weather the last few days. But you could feel the summer returning this evening.

Jogging on West Campus with 1 x RT.

I spent a few minutes petting a dog in the neighborhood. I think the woman walking the dog must live on Stone Barn. She said she's only had the dog a few days. He seemed like a very nice dog.

On the bike paths on a nice evening. My legs felt a bit heavy. I stopped at the grocery store near the end and bought salad fixings for dinner.

Jogging on West Campus. I included 5x run/walk of 2 minutes running at an honest effort and then 1 minute walking. It felt pretty good - better than last week. Some of that was the relatively comfortable temps.

MTB on the bike path - a modified version of the Lawrence Loop plus a bit.

Cloudy and temps in the 70s. That makes things so much easier.
