At UMD w/Lawrence Ong. I won 1 for 2. The first I lead by few points the whole way. The second, I made a strong comeback after getting behind early. We ran out of time tied in the 3rd.

Measuring and recording the routes I run in Northridge Bowie. Much of this stop & start effort was a 2 intensity but the stops were taken out of the time.

Just around the block & a little to have done something for the evening. I had wanted to play racquetball but it didn't work.

Working late again so I ate instead of ran. It's snowing and slick outside again too w/snow on top of ice. This weekends QOC meet is cancelled again which doesn't fare well for me--I need the practice.

30 push-ups, 45 situps, dumbells.

Speed shoveling the driveway and stairs of 1" of the new white stuff. Wanted to run but it's slick out and working late makes me hungry.

Fortunate to have found a shop that could order a replacement band for Kreitler rollers, I got it replaced and can now avoid the ice outside. It had been so long, I had a hard time balancing a start.

From the UMD Track, roads around College Park including Wells Pkwy, Claggett Dr., and College Ave and across the campus. I made zig-zags through the streets going down some I haven't before in order to find clear ground safe from a lot of traffic. Snow piles everywhere are all ice and the melt freezes. Sidewalks are still mostly covered. I kept a modest pace slightly below 3.

From Quill Point Dr. Quilt Patch La. to Fletchertown Rd. to Quetzal Rd. to Quill Point Dr. Working late, running late... tired from yesterday and the last week.

30 Push-up's, 45 situp's, dumbells.

From Meadobrook Stables in Rock Creek Park, MD to the intersection of Blagden Dr./Broad Branch Dr./Beach Dr. and back. We had expected fog from the rain on the snow to give way to high winds and eventually sunshine. Instead there was a cold rain most of the way. I ran with Nick Panebianco and Tim Connelly of PGRC while others in the club including Peggy followed. At the turn-around (39:14) Nick and I paused and Tim went on but we caught him with a push at the end (40:25) through the rain and melt-water flood flotsam. I saw Pat Zerfas running the other way twice too. Finally getting a battery for our scale I've found myself several pounds heavier than this time last year which explains a lot--173.5. I was 165-168 most of last year and as low as 161 the year before.
