Hotel Nouvel to Picasso Museum

I screwed up picking the right date for the right visit. Thought that Picasso was today and Gaudi tomorrow. They let us in at the Museum, which was great but I had t hurry back to get the Sagrada Familia tickets.

Hotel Nouvel to Castell de Montjuïc
11:50 PM; Barcelona, Spain
15.4 °C; Clear
First workout in Europe, a worthy goal, to jog up Montjuïc Not bad, about 150 m of climbing, a lot of it steep or on stairs. Rewarded by beautiful views of the city, the harbor and the Mediterranean. Very comfortable running temps at around 12 C. Ran into a park through an open gate, the gates towards the other side were closed, fortunately, I found a hole in the fence through which I could crawl to continue my ascent to Castell de Montjuic. Great way to start our first full day in Spain. Later this morning we're headed to the Picasso museum, so a lot more walking.

6:03 AM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
14.7 °C; Clear
Lovely and mild morning, scents of spring blossoms wafting in the air and a hint of summer. Last walk for the dogs before trip to Europe. I doubt that James will give them as much time. They took full attention of my time with them, having about 3 km off leash. As the siberian corydalis wilts, it is being replaced with the next invasive, garlic mustard.

Repeat of this morning's destination, forgot my wallet at home then and needed to pay the piper, in this case the vet. Dogs had a clean bill of health, nice chat about our various animals with the staff. Just like this morning, the dogs appreciated the treats and pets they got, without the pricks from various vaccinations and blood tests.

12.0 °C;
Very small group this morning and a reversed gender balance: four guys and one gal. And no music, the sound of heavy breathing is balm for my ears! Good workout, with a lot of one-sided exercises like one legged and side planks. Those one-legged exercises are important for me to help improve my balance, which is my Achilles heel for skate skiing.

TCC to YMCA Elliptical
6:34 AM; Downtown Minneapolis
From TCC bike park to YMCA lateral elliptical. The usual drill, brisk walk from TCC to the Y, 14:00 on the elliptical with 3 x 1:30 at level 15. I used the machine on the left on top floor, noticed that the left arm for upper body had some play. Let one of the attendants know. Always working up a good sweat on that machine.

25.8 °C; Clear
Warm and sunny, couldn't quite figure out the wind. It was blowing into my face on going north down the bridge on the campus connector towards Como and then again going south, along Snelling. Got another confirmation that most semi drivers are among the best and most courteous. Had one slow down and wave me through when I was getting ready to cross one of the entrances on the bridge.

Quite a bit of running mixed in, calling it a run because of that. The smells of spring are everywhere, so many different trees, bushes and flowers in full bloom.

A few running steps to make the light at 8th. Other than that, the usual walk from bike parking to my desk, including 12 floors. Needed to run a couple errands later, so I started early.

Felt like a fast ride and it was not too bad. Pleasant temps, earlier than usual, surprised at the number of bikes out. Squirrel hazard on Dinkytown Greenway, Needed to hit the breaks for one of the bushy-tailed rats that was running along between the wall and my bike.

Energy Park Short
4:17 PM; Hamline Midway/Frogtown
20.7 °C; Light rain
Made it home from work dry, but it must have started raining as soon as I stepped in the door. Coming back out of the house after I changed shoes, the ground was already wet. Light at first, it increased to a steady rain by the time we got back home. EU friend Brianna who was just leaving work at Power/mation recognized me as we emerged from behind the Energy Park complex, we chatted shortly, not wanting to linger in the rain. Forgot to turn off the Garmin, so there is some extra time and distance while I was moseying around the backyard. I finally found my second rain barrel under the christmas tree. Had hoped to plant the beans but will defer this to tomorrow. The tomatoes I planted yesterday are looking very good, that rain is timed perfectly for them!

23.3 °C; Cloudy
Looked like I might get rained on and there was some evidence of earlier rainfall on the downtown streets. Made it home dry and surprised myself with my pace, in spite a few slowdowns along the route. Felt like I had a steady headwind, however very light it was, must have just been pushing a little harder, generating my own headwind.

Wonderful morning, a little cool but I had to drop the fleece jacket halfway through. Maximized off leash time for the dogs. Corydalis nobilis, an aggressive but showy invasive, is in full bloom. Lilacs are opening their blossoms, too. Compressed spring.
