Well, one day of togetherness at home was quite enough. :) So, I got up early and went to the DVOA meet at Mount Joy/Valley Forge, PA. Very enjoyable. Unlike many Valley Forge meets, this one was mostly in the woods - criss crossing all over the small area - doable with epunching. Helped out a little afterwards since I didn't really want to head right home after only being there 2 hours.

This is Roger's weekend - I have nothing on the agenda so I "owe" some hours at home. Wake up call comes at 8:30 am to help move some plants in the garden. Then lunch with friends, a nap, and help a cadet re: A meet, and work on Sprint course for PG.

Then I read Peggy D's workout from yesterday and realize I haven't even thought about whether I was going to blow off a run today or not. And the next thing I know I am out the door going to work to pick up the master maps from Pax River so I can make the courses to send to Greg for RouteGadget...

Anyway, walk most of the way there in 24 minutes - breathing rough for 1st 20 minutes as usual and it is all uphill. Pick stuff up and head back home. Sky opens up 4 blocks from home - as I am trudging up the hill. Return trip in 18 minutes.

I got a workout in and didn't even spend all day agonizing about it! Follow up with dinner out. What a rough day.

Omeet: Print maps, setup sprint & QOC event, 3 hours.

Had an afternoon appointment in Springfield so took my running clothes so I could go for a run around the lake. Before leaving work, decided to print the Lake Accotink O map and run trails instead.

Upon leaving my appt, I came to the T at Edsall road - left to home, right to the lake. I don't really feel like running, so I get into the left lane first, then chastise myself for being lazy and get into right lane.

Change at the park and into the shoes I threw into the bag - turns out I had grabbed a pair that did not have insoles in them, so I had to use the ortho inserts instead - not ideal because they are slippery. Also, I can tell that my hubby washed my water bottle last - it was soapy tasting. Temps in the 80s, sluggish thoughout. So, plenty of negatives things to worry about, but enjoyed being by myself instead of on the main trail...

Situps 30, pushups 20

Only goal was to get out the door - walk or run or both. Set an easy pace and only walked 2 minutes and up the hill home - which I decided to do 3 times. WP is coming up soon! Breathing a little painful but not really an issue.

30 situps and 20 girlie pushups after...
