8 AM
Biking (Commute in) 26:00 [2] 5.8 mi (4:29 / mi)
slept:4.0 weight:173lbs shoes: Bike Sandals
Met with the contractor before work about getting the basement stairs repaired and some painting done. Ankle is more black and blue today, and the knot below my knee is noticeably swollen and sorer. Not sure if cycling is good for it or not, but I didn't want to pass on the ride to work work on a very beautiful morning.
Left the house a little after 8, and there didn't seem to be a ton more people doing Bike to Work Day. There was a marked increase in the a**hole to rider ratio though that you don't usually see among the regular commuters. Two different twosome riding/chatting side by side and overlapping the yellow line at the narrowest part of the trail. One made no move to get over, and the other did very late. Agh! Didn't let it ruin what was otherwise a great ride to work. There was a sweet tailwind to make it even better. New PR by a minute.

2 PM
Biking 1:00:30 [2] 12.0 mi (5:03 / mi) +92m 4:55 / mi

Left work a little early and headed home the long way. Wind was much tougher this afternoon, especially the last couple of miles home. Now my right shoulder is killing me to shrug it or move my arm back. I must have been holding on pretty hard.
