Playing around at Franklin Park with Sam, Jordan and Ed. Trying to capture some good promotional video footage of the venues. Franklin park was pretty ideal today, looking lush and pretty with nice woods. A fun outing.

Running a sprint, started after Sam, and caught her near the beginning. Then held off Jordan (who started behind) until almost the end. I think I was a little too sloppy, and was being extra careful to check the control areas, otherwise a decent effort.

No training. Jordan got up early to drive to Baldwin Hill, but I had too much to do around the house and then getting over to the party that Judy and Jeff threw for us. It was really really great to see everyone! The food was good, and the mini-golf afterward too ( ooh, maybe that could count as exercise, I won by a stroke).

Running to work. I'd really rather be running up at Lynn Woods this morning. Silly job :) It's cool that Jordan and Sam get to go play in the forest though.

To work, and then from work to the Harvard T stop to meet my friend Dan who was visiting for a wedding. Dinner out a Cambridge Commons, where I proceeded to devour pretty much anything that had even a tiny resemblance to food. Deep Fried pickles are pretty good, I learned :)

BerryLine for dessert, and boy did I feel like a python after an entire water buffalo.

To work, and then from work over to Katia and Giovanni's place for an A-meet meeting. Stopping on the way at Whole Foods for some grapes.

I also picked up a new pair of Icebugs, which was good since my last pair really died out at Moreau.

Running to work, and then from work to the track for CSU workout. Woohoo for backlogging this. This was from before I got my Garmin back in the mail.

Strides, then a cut down 1600, 1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200, with 200 rest between.

Running into work. Sooo sleepy this morning, I was hoping to wake up at 7 this morning and didn't drag myself out of bed until after 8. A perfect day for running and as always, running is a great way to wake up.

A much better hill workout than the last couple of weeks. I suspect the rest day yesterday helped, and I suspect that a happy mood helps as well. I was listening to techno music and enjoying the good weather and working pretty hard up the hill. Was hoping to do more than 6, but was feeling pretty dehydrated and getting just a touch of bile at the back of my throat at the top each time, so I called 6 enough and ran back to the lab.
