8 AM

Set up for the race timing and then took a run down the trail (with ankle braces). Felt fine enough. Gross humidity.

Then walked back up the hill.

Biking 1:53:00 [1] 20.73 mi (5:27 / mi) +183m 5:18 / mi
shoes: Shimano Bike

Yeah! Early morning bike ride. Wind at my back on the return trip. Weee!

Legs are a bit shot, but I think I am getting stronger again.

Reminded me that I saw a Baltimore Oriole, being chased by a mockingbird, along side the trail on Thursday morning. Pretty cool looking.

Cleaned chain when I got back.

Note

Rain all day, so a good rest day to take. Contemplated doing the core dvd, but I couldn't quite muster up enough enthusiasm for it. Another day, perhaps.

6 AM

Biking (To PT) 34:30 [1] 6.06 mi (5:42 / mi) +91m 5:26 / mi
shoes: Shimano Bike

Felt easier than the same trip on Tuesday. Good thing, since I got sidetracked answering a Condes question when I should have been showering instead.

8 AM

Biking (PT to Office) 55:00 [1] 11.03 mi (4:59 / mi) +33m 4:56 / mi
shoes: Shimano Bike

Supposed to rain all day tomorrow - some tropical storm... So, I decided to ride all of the way to work. Stopped at the deli in the PT office building for an egg salad platter since I didn't bring lunch with me. Rode to work with a bit of a headwind, but since it was slightly downhill, it wasn't too bad.

12 PM

Biking (Commute home (Dinwiddie)) 32:30 [1] 6.22 mi (5:14 / mi) +64m 5:04 / mi
shoes: Shimano Bike

Got called to the central office, reporting time up to me within reason, so at lunch time, I rode home, showered, and reported to the office 2 miles from the house. Favorable wind in general, so I quite enjoyed this trip home.

Biking (Commute in) 30:15 [1] 6.0 mi (5:03 / mi)
weight:190lbs shoes: Shimano Bike

4 PM

Biking (Commute home (Dinwiddie)) 33:00 [1] 6.2 mi (5:19 / mi)
shoes: Shimano Bike

Finally, the wind at my back, or so it seemed.

6 PM

Note

I have been meaning to respond to Alex's comment about seeing my doppelganger. Thanks Alex for the part about me not running as slow as she was running. Pigtails are gone for now, but the rest sounded just like me. :-)

Here is another option - my fraternal twin, Betsy. Now that she is not coloring her hair anymore, we look more alike again.

6 AM

Biking 37:00 [1] 6.21 mi (5:57 / mi) +79m 5:44 / mi
weight:192lbs shoes: Shimano Bike

Despite the continuation of sleep issues (can't fall asleep and can't stay asleep when I finally do, leading to 2-3 hours of sleep each night for the last ~2 weeks), I woke up feeling fairly rested at 5 AM. Closed my eyes a bit longer, and then got up in time to eat, shower, and then ride out to PT appointment.

Lovely temps, though fought a bit of a headwind going out. Knew the return trip would be more fun.

8 AM

Biking (Commute home (Dinwiddie)) 38:00 [1] 7.17 mi (5:18 / mi) +61m 5:10 / mi
shoes: Shimano Bike

Ride home was indeed more fun, enough so that I didn't fret about that last hill overly much and chose to "power" up the long, steady hill, instead of the steeper one broken up into three parts.

A good PT appointment, and a bike ride is such a great way to start the day!
