Note

Turned into a nap and HoHo (figuratively at least) kind of day. :)

Around the 5.0 km loop for tonight.

Then did the 5 mile loop on my bike. Yeah, I know the distance says 6...went around by the school to see the public safety trucks getting ready for some emergency drills.

Note

Signs went up in front of the house to tell us to have the cars moved for street paving today. I didn't quite get it done soon enough, and they knocked on my door just as I was getting out of the shower. Oops.

Since I drove, I packed my running bag. I hope to leave early and get a run in on the trails at Fountainhead.

Trail Run (Fountainhead) 1:03:00 [3] 5.0 mi (12:36 / mi)
shoes: Salomom XT Wings 10

I didn't get out of work quite as early as I had hoped to (2:30 instead of 1:30), but I followed through with the trip to FH.

Considered Sandy's suggestion of 50 minutes, but I settled on 5.0 miles x 2 instead.

Mile splits out were 1335 1125 1216 1201 1340.

Trail Run (Fountainhead) 1:10:00 [3] 5.0 mi (14:00 / mi)
shoes: Salomom XT Wings 10

And the return mile splits were 1623 1118 1347 1424 1407.

Saw a beautiful fox coming into Wolf Run Shoals Road (or whatever that is called). Lots of deer just standing around as well, though not where the fox was.

Other animal related item - tons of horse sh*t on the trail. Yuck. Missed it all, but there were some close calls when it was in the shadows.

Did not see another soul the whole time. Though this worried my mother, I was perfectly fine with it.

A very good birthday session.

Biking 49:00 [1] 8.8 mi (5:34 / mi)
shoes: Shimano Bike

To DMV: 11:00 2 miles (80 minutes to renew license, add spouse to car title, and renew tags)
To work: 18:00 3 miles (struggled up George Mason hill)
Lunch: 8:30 1.6 miles
Home: 11:30 2.2

Debating whether to add extra or just go home. After hitting every red light, including the one at the saddle losing momentum before the next uphill, I turned right and went home. Glad I did because the wind was fierce in my face in the direction I would have been coming up the big hill.

Biking 34:00 [1] 6.2 mi (5:29 / mi)

IN: 14:00 2.4
Lunch: 8:30 1.6
Home: 11:30 2.2 straight home

Since I was pooped yesterday, I skipped riding on a gorgeous summer day. So, today, I made sure I rode in because it is going to be almost as nice today.

My lungs hurt to start out, and since it is such a short ride, that really means they hurt the whole time. Besides the weekend's efforts, we have had the windows open the last two nights, and I woke up congested.
