Treadmill.

Plan was to ride some of the fire roads at Prince William to get accustomed to the gravel parts, which I am not too keen on. Ended up riding more paved than gravel, but I think I got a little more comfortable riding on the fire roads.

No snakes or turtles, but I did see a cute little fawn on the drive into the park.

I didn't have to walk the little hill on the gravel road this time, so win for me.

Swim after waiting for AC guy at house (routine). Coincidentally, my office AC was also being serviced today. Coolness all the way around. Yay!

On the treadmill - 5 minute walking interspersed with 4x1 mile. Made not so bad by watching tv on the ipad.

Set the speed at 5.5 mph and did a mile. First one made my lungs aches, 3rd one had cranky knees, but none were too bad, in the grand scheme of things.

Over to the central office to drop something off and then a lunch time ride. Through Crystal City to get to the bike trail. Not really much fun with all the buses and pedestrians. Stopped at a bench near the school system's rowing facility on the Potomac and ate my sandwich and chilled for a few minutes.



The new tires feel nice to ride on. Though not on this path since no bikes allowed. Waiting for the day that there is a bike trail bypass of Alexandria City.

Back to the office after first adding a section on towards the house to make for a longer outing.

Sweating buckets moving boxes around at work, so the pool was the best choice for today. Swam 30 minutes straight. No music since I had left it on the last time I used it. Only the sounds in my head to keep me company, which was somewhat suspect.
