Gym with KT

Finished off some yardwork so KT could plant everything. All we have left are the vegetables next weekend.

Went to Wakefield/Accotink for a ride since I couldn't run. Haven't gotten a good trail ride in with good conditions since last season. I had a real good time. I have really warmed up to the trails here since moving up to the DC area. There are some sections I really don't like but there are other really good flowy sections. It is by no means the Appalachian Mountains but they are still fun.

I covered all the trails in Wakefield and then road to Accotink. There are so many short trails over there. I think I covered a good bit of them but I know there are areas I missed. I then came back for another short loop at Wakefield. My bike comuter said I covered over 22 miles. Although I didn't caluibrate for these tires I would expect that estimate to be short if anything.

I felt pretty good as far as strength and speed goes.

I was feeling a lot of pain in my foot. Every time I put my left foot down to turn around or step over a log it hurt. It hurts a lot just to walk around now. Downed some Vitamin I and icing as I type.

Planning to take a trip to the Podiatrist this week.

Event: QOC Fountainhead
 

Could not go to the Omeet because of my foot. Not looking good.

Could not run so I took care of a lot of things in the yard (mowing, gardening, clearing brush).

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XVI
 

Gym with KT. My second time at HQ in one day. Was there for my groups lunch earlier.

Slowed a little more than usual by the lights and felt the wind again on Loisdale.

Ride home. 15-20mph winds from the NW. Which meant considerable head wind 90% of the ride.

Slow commute despit my effort.

Got a flat tire 1/2 mile from my house. Easy decision to walk home instead of changing the flat.

Ride to work.

Took it easy. No soreness left in the legs from the weekend. Probably a result of the 2 rest days.

Hit some strong winds from the South on Loisdale.

Left work just as the storm was passing over. Rained for the first few minutes and the ground was pretty wet until I got to Annandale.

I went much slower to avoid slipping and didn't want to push hard today. Tomorrow should be a harder day.

Although I hate riding in the rain it is a good way to avoid traffic at its worst. It was nice passing the longer than usual line of cars on 7100.

5 Guys for dinnner, YUM!

Lacking motivation. Needed a mental rest day. Would have been worthwhile to commute today though.

Legs are tired and sore.

May do some small exercises or stretching but resting none the less.
