Wednesday Jul 31, 2013 #
Cycling 24:00 [3]
Commute in.
Cycling 27:00 [2]
Commute home, unfortunately and uncomfortably burdened with a backpack.
Tuesday Jul 30, 2013 #
Cycling 1:20:00 [3]
Work commute plus cycling to the aquatic center along the Metropolitan Branch Trail, which I suppose I ought to applaud the creation of but can't help wishing they hadn't tried to shoehorn in parts of to a streetscape with no room for a proper mixed-use trail. Better signage also wouldn't have gone amiss - the part where the MBT signage led to a very steep staircase while cyclists are supposed to take a lengthy detour to reach a ramp I could have done without.
Swimming 46:00 [2]
Flutterkicking.
Deep Water Running 46:00 [2]
Then eventually one of the deeper lanes freed up.
Monday Jul 29, 2013 #
Cycling 24:00 [3]
Cycling to work.
Cycling 42:00 [2]
Non-intense early evening cycling.
Cycling 20:11 [5] 9.02 km (2:14 / km) +69m 2:09 / km
Georgetown to River Road exit from the Capital Crescent Trail.
Sunday Jul 28, 2013 #
Cycling 30:00 [3]
Round trip to the Freer Gallery to see Viva Erotica. A bit surprised to learn that Shu Qi started her career in the Hong Kong soft core porn industry. Not so much that she did but that as far as I remember no one ever saw fit to mention that in anything I read about her in connection with her subsequent mainstream career.
Running 49:30 [1]
Jogging with Dan in RCP again. Planned a slightly longer run but Dan's stomach wouldn't cooperate.
Saturday Jul 27, 2013 #
Note
Crystal City Twilighter 5K?
Running 42:00 [1]
Late morning jog with Dan in Rock Creek Park.
Cycling 30:00 [3]
Round trip to the National Gallery to see The Dancing Soul of the Walking People.
Friday Jul 26, 2013 #
Cycling 18:00 [2]
Picked up bike post-frame transplant - I'm now back to having a basic black bike with white accents. Have ordered some reflective tape that's apparently black in daylight but reflective silver when you shine a light on it in the dark.
Tuesday Jul 23, 2013 #
Form exercises 20:00 [4]
Some silly walks in the relative cool as dusk fell.
Sunday Jul 21, 2013 #
Note
No running but a long hike with Dan and a friend who was in town - starting from Carderock did sections A and B of the Billygoat Trail plus returning by traversing the uplands of our Great Falls orienteering map from the tavern to Old Angler's Inn then walking the rest of the way on the towpath.
Saturday Jul 20, 2013 #
Running 38:00 [1]
Jog in RCP with Dan, who wasn't feeling very energetic and then got a stitch near the end of the route so we walked some of the last part of the usual short loop.
Thursday Jul 18, 2013 #
Running 1:20:03 [2] 11.6 km (6:54 / km)
Early evening jog through the sauna that is Rock Creek Park during a DC summer heatwave. Ran into Pat Zerfas hiking with poles alongside the creek and a few extremely ectomorphic young male runners - maybe the normal set of people who would be running there on a weekday evening but I'm guessing there was some self-selection for the ability to shed heat to the environment very efficiently.
Tuesday Jul 16, 2013 #
Swimming 35:00 [2]
At the aquatic center in the evening.
Sunday Jul 14, 2013 #
Running 3:00 [1]
Brief warmup and cooldown, not counting some walking to get out and back to and from the grass.
Form exercises 17:00 [4]
Silly walks before it got seriously dusky in the evening.
Saturday Jul 13, 2013 #
Running 1:13:00 [1]
Hot and slow jog in RCP with Dan. Hope we get out early in the morning when it's cooler tomorrow or that will probably be hotter and slower
Felt mostly recovered by Friday evening (went to Freer to see John Woo's A Better Tomorrow - must say he was fine at it in the 80s but he got even better at filming Chow Yun Fat walking alone into a restaurant to kill a mobster surrounded by bodyguards by the early 90s - rather than go home to sleep the evening away) and fine today so off comes the sick flag.

(sick)
Feeling significantly less awful but still spent ~12 hours in bed and fell no desire to get out and eat anything all evening. Hope normal appetite resumes soon - I'm somewhat above an ideal competitive weight but I'd rather not lose the excess too quickly, thank you very much.

Started feeling a bit ungood the previous evening. Felt awful in flu-like way by workday's end. Got home and went to bed without supper for 13 hours.
Tuesday Jul 9, 2013 #
Cycling 38:00 [3]
Cycling to work then to a bike shop in Georgetown since sadly it appears my frame is kaput and I had to deliver it to someone able to determine whether it's covered by warranty. I suppose there's an outside chance I wandered through it long ago and have since forgotten but I was shocked to head around the west side of the Tidal Basin only to find that I've apparently been overlooking a huge FDR memorial there all the time I've lived in DC.

Most of the day's cycling getting from home to the National Gallery (for the Folklife Festival plus a couple of films, then to Friendship Heights and home again.
Cycling 19:23 [5] 9.06 km (2:08 / km) +69m 2:04 / km
New slightly extended 'time trial' from the DC end of the Capital Crescent Trail to where you leave it to exit onto River Rd. Went through the end of the shorter version in 17:39, slightly faster than I'd done it before, likely thanks to only having one pannier on the bike with nothing terribly heavy in it other than my U-lock.
Friday Jul 5, 2013 #

Commute plus checking out the Trader Joe's that has dropped anchor in Foggy Bottom sometime recently.
