Event: QOC Manassas
 

QOC Manassas Blue - a little off on my compass work on the short legs, otherwise respectable run in by no means particularly challenging terrain technically. Cold and windy, though sunny, prompting me to overdress a little bit in arm warmers, gloves, buff and a short sleeved top under my NOAC 2014 souvenir top. I think dispensing with the extra short-sleeved top would have been just about right.

Blue - Splits

Saturday morning yoga at the library.

Cycling round trip to the National Gallery to see a couple of short documentaries about Kyoto by two revered Japanese film directors. Bonus - the first one was scored by Toru Takemitsu.

Event: OCIN Flying Pig XX
 

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks and uphill sprints. Meant to do a longer run but time got away from me and then it was dark out and late enough I wasn't about to go do a long run anyway by headlamp.

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks and 8 uphill sprints (walking back down circuitously for recovery).

Running errands by bicycle. Some kind of big police happening on the block of 14th St between U and V Sts early in the afternoon - no idea what was going on but there were a lot of police and police vehicles, a notable absence of anyone other than police inside the block passers by were excluded from (so if some kind of mass arrest event was taking place, everyone must have already been put behind tinted glass in the police vehicles), and a great many people in the surrounding crowd taking cellphone video, on general principle, I guess. Maybe I just missed a more exciting phase of the action. Will have to check local news online.

Went for a not too hard, not too long (I thought) run in Rock Creek Park late in the afternoon, thinking I'd go to the Crawlers track workout on Wednesday morning but, while things felt okay during the run, something in the vicinity of my right hip flexor was unhappy later in the evening so skipping another track workout. Maybe next week.

Still have a large ruddy with inflammation patch on my right thigh but it has stopped, so far as I can tell, exuding yellow fluid.

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks and a few uphill sprints.
