Biking 48:00 [1] 16.0 km (20.0 kph)
(rest day) shoes: Trek 7.1 FX
To and from Brahms Trio rehearsal. Our concert is in fourteen days, and Sherman Jia, a very talented violinist whom I met in college, came by to listen and critique our performance. It was very constructive; he's an insightful coach.
I do take a measure of pride in my ability as a horn player; being able to do something well is edifying. I have had the privilege of playing with many excellent musicians, and that the French horn is in higher demand than other, more common instruments gives me more opportunities than perhaps I deserve. I certainly have room to improve, but I enjoy playing, and I'm comfortable with the amount of effort and time I currently invest.
Perhaps most valuably, music performance gives me an avenue to meet many wonderful people and is a catalyst for building meaningful friendships.
Brendan took Presto out for a run, so I elected to focus on my work tonight in lieu of training. A full rest day before intervals tomorrow would be good anyway.
I'm planning on getting some quick dinner in Harvard Square - Qdoba or Chipotle (e.g.) if haste is necessary, or Border Cafe if time warrants - tomorrow night after intervals if anyone is interested.
