A somewhat abbreviated session - only 6x100m strides and half the normal amount of silly walking and bounding.

Warmup and cooldown associated with form exercises.

Class with Deborah before heading off to pick up the rental with which to move the bulk of Dan's worldly goods.

Run to work. Some muddy patches on the Rock Creek Park trails.

Run home with no light - as always, one way to ensure I'm not tempted to go too fast.

Almost all snow on sidewalks gone in the morning. I hope the grass I plan on running on this evening is also drying out. Home by way of volunteering at PCRM.

Warmup/cooldown for form exercises.

9x100m strides, silly walks, uphill bounding and a set of twenty vertical leaps.

Abdominal/back/glute exercises - while watching figure skating and the snowboard racing.

A few shadowy areas of sidewalk still with compacted snow but the pavement was mostly clear on the way in. Home with picking up tickets for weekend Cronenberg films and food on the way.

Some leg strength exercises during an evening of watching cutthroat competition on TV - a bit of American Idol that my roommate was watching, some Olympics and then an episode of Project Runway (I can blame my roommate for this - I managed to get sucked into AI on my own). This was during the Olympics - many one-legged squats (something we used to do in skiing dry land training - I figure if Sandra and Marc are doing them...) and some calf raises, as recommended at the Hamilton training camp.

Ran in through Rock Creek Park again - trails perhaps getting a bit icier with superficial melting and refreezing and use? Still not too death defying.

Run through RCP to Cleveland Park to pick up some food. No moon visible but so little light is needed when the ground is mostly covered in snow that I put my light away once I was through the first bit of it making sure the cars could see me. Trails getting muddy in a few spots as the snow melts - just as well I plan on cycling for a couple of days now.

Basic abdominal/glute/back exercises.

Run in on snow in no danger of melting immediately, icy in places. Nice not to have any trouble keeping my feet dry.

Class with Helanius back from his company's western tour. He ran through quite a lot of assembly - as he put it, by the end of the night he had a nice skeleton for the piece - and therefore ran overtime. I consequence, I didn't get to see any 24 at all.
