Jogging, strides, silly walks and bounding.

Cycling to and from Dave Onkst's control picking exercise, shortened by Nadim and Peggy taking me and bike back to Bethesda. Stayed at their place to watch the day's TDF stage and hear the occasional reminescence from Peggy about the roadside terrain looking familiar from WOC '87.

Control picking exercise - two loops with 19 controls each, a number of them common, designed to maximise the number of people running every which way in the woods and distracting each other. This particular update of the map has a few issues, primarily an absurdly low threshhold for what constitutes several kinds of mappable feature. Good training nonetheless.

Commute. The Kirov was very good although the dancer they had playing the slave trader was less convincingly wicked than the (also Russian) dancer the ABT had in the same role when I saw their version.

Commute plus swings by PCRM to volunteer and the Kennedy Center to buy a ticket for the Kirov Ballet's "Le Corsaire".

Warmup and cooldown for tempo run.

Tempo run on grass. A little too early for fireflies this time.

Jogging warmup and cooldown, 8x100m strides, silly walks, bounding plus five hard repetitions of a moderately steep hill that takes about 16 seconds to climb.

Fireflies galore.

Rest day - did a bit of the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival and the final film in the Marcel Pagnol trilogy. A reasonable amount of low intensity walking and a bit of dancing to Omani music but nothing more.
