Event: QOC Great Falls MD
 

A noontime ride to stretch out the legs. Bike is at work, for now, in the hopes that I will ride more there then I would from the house. But, first it required that I get the shoes to work as well. Managed that today. Then it required that I think that it wasn't windy out. Managed that today as well, except that it was super windy in the outbound direction. Then I got all cluttered up in the Crystal City lunchtime traffic. Not sure which was worse, the peds stepping into the street from every direction or the oblivious drivers.

Got turned around and enjoyed the trip back, so that ended things on an up note. Well, actually 45 minutes outside on a beautiful day is an up note all by itself.

Off to Iowa in the morning sans Sarah, Matt, and Lailah (Roger as well, of course).

807 (jogged 2 x .1 mile)
914 (jogged 1 x .1 mile and detoured to the car to shed long sleeve shirt)
840 (all walking the rest of the way)
838
852 (not sure why slower)

Tried jogging a bit, but in knee length jean shorts, it wasn't all that comfortable. Oh, and jogging on the payment felt like I had house slippers on my feet, so I just walked.

OK, it turns out I was a bit more beat up after Sunday then I thought I was, so I took it easy for a couple of days. Left hamstring and knee pain.

Post evaluation after overdoing it yesterday...

I iced the left heel last night, and it feels just fine this morning. This is less pain then I was in on Friday morning after the two miles on Thursday. Other things are a little sore, but nothing unexpected. WooHoo!
