Biked from Chevy Chase to the office (10 miles), all the way on the CCT, on a very crispy morning! For the first time since I've been riding that trail, a lot of bikers past me... I don't mind when the hard-core looking bikers pass me, (I could beat anyone if I had a road bike!), but at least nobody that's a commuter biker like me passes me... Plus I was carrying a heavy pack! Anyway, it was a great ride.

Ran after work around Dumbarton Oaks/Glover Park - feeling awful, like my blood pressure is down or something... I had to walk a lot. I thought I was going to faint - even though I ate all day long...

Had a granola bar at the office and biked home (5 miles).

LOL wow your competitive.:) I see someone buying a road bike soon. You will love the difference and the speed factor. But then you might become a hard-core biker/commuter.

How are you today? Hope better.

And I was going to ask you when your next 10k race is...

Huans, I am already a hard-core biker and commuter!!!

Rocket,

If you are still wondering about how accurate McMillan's calculator is...here are my #'s after having run a marathon.

5k 21:40, 10k 45:01, marathon 3:38:21(calc. says I should run 3:31:11).

For me the longer the distance, the more off it gets.

Sounds like a little piece of biking nirvana too me!

Sorry you are feeling crummy! But what a way to start he week out with all of that biking and running!
