My right shoulder had been bothering me a little Wednesday-today and I decided that it was better to do some no-pole activities. Since it was only Mike B, Karl and me, they had no issues with modifying the workout accordingly. We settled on climbing the trail along Commercial Str. six times, I was able to squeeze in a seventh time because I jogged down. We were all swimming in our own juices by the time we wer done.

Warm and muggy. A little later start, much more traffic on Snelling but still felt safe. Many runners out, the ROTC was out in full battle regalia, marching, not running today. Glad for a cool shower this morning!

Another fast ride, pleasantly cool this morning. Did not see any ROTC this morning but heard their grunting coming form the UMN fitness and recreational fields at 25th Ave SE. Many people out enjoying this beautiful morning. At TPC, they were setting up for the Target Annual Meeting block party, looks like they will close the Mall between 10th and 11th. My department will venture out for to go before we head for lunch and for the annual meeting at Target Center. I was passed by a very fast rider on a tri bike on CLT. It's always an odd experience when that happens, makes me realize that in spite of thinking of myself as a strong cyclist, I am actually pretty slow.

Late today, due to Target Annual Meeting. Dogs were eagerly awaiting me and happy we got going after we satisfied by letting my neighbor Chris' young daughter lead Mellie for a little. Two hobos hanging out at Snelling and Energy Park Drive, two young guys and their dogs. The set, including their dogs, are friendly. One seemed to be checking out the freights, while looking at a cellphone. Roux was all riled up from meeting the new dogs and had to blow off steam by sprinting ahead. Other than that, as usual.

Legs shot from sitting for 3+ hours in cramped stadion seats at Target Center for Target's fall national meeting. As usual, the execs' reports were intermingled with some entertainment from Targe-affiliated artists, most of whom I had never heard of. Pleasantly surprised by four songs from Dave Matthews' solo performance. He was very good. The ride home was the best therapy for my cramped legs but the strong headwind did not make it an easy one.

Another ride with decent speed. Not even trying all that hard and tired legs and shoulders from last night's workout. Late, because I actually slept in a little. Went to see Serena Williams in conversation with her husband at Orchestra Hall. Too light and fluffy, would have liked to hear something about husbands early days with Reddit.

Nice walk, hot but the wind tempered the heat. Locusts flying up everywhere.

Meant to go to demo afternoon, where teams present their new products and ideas. But the line was snaking around TPC so I decided to get on my bike instead and make a break for home. Persistent easterly wind mide riding a chore, but hey, it's better training effect.

Wow, it's hot again. Shockingly so, stepping out of the AC buildings. And the wind blew almost off my bike, heading out of downtown. Opted for the protected route.

More windy and warm. I push button for pedestrian crossing blinky at Hamline and Pierce Butler and walk towards the middle of the road, my side being clear. the car coming towards me from the other side slows down and the guy behind him honks. I hate that. Other than that, it was a very nice walk.

Like Saturday, a great workout! also a good turnout. Started with a 15:00 Warm-up, followed by 2 x 00:30 lock & load. Then the 4 x 7:00 L3/L4, which for me, was exactly to the end of asphalt trail at Century. I kept them very close together. It's getting dark earlier and the last interval, the 5 pick-up sprints and the short cool-down were almost in the dark. What an awesome evening!

Very swift ride. Needed to slow down for the ROTC on Dinklytown Greenway but at least they weren't running in formation, blocking the entire way. Beautiful morning!

Overcast but warm. Very quiet along river and trails, must be because it's the beginning of the week?

Walking to pick up beans. Noticed quite a few riding over the Summit Ave bridge across Ayd Mill as we approached from along the train tracks. After climbing up, I remembered that it is the St. Paul Bike Classic tour today. What a day for this event and for any other outdoor activity! Got my beans at Dunn's and stopped for a bran muffin for Lynn at Breadsmith. Walking up Fry I saw my old colleague Sarah having coffee and called out to her. Nice catching up with her and Sher!
