Wasn't going to run till the evening but Ashley wanted to go at lunch - I can't say no to Ashley, she's too much fun to miss. It was very hot and I think she got really dehydrated... good run nevertheless, though we went by the White House and through some crowded streets...

Biked to the office this morning...

Probably will run to Will's house this evening...

I learned two new words/phrases today...

"What's your Achilles tendon?" = name your biggest weakness

"Boondogle" = the leather things the Boy Scouts wear around their necks - OR a wasteful project...

--------------

Ran to Chevy Chase circle in the evening, Will picked me up from there - it was HOT and HUMID and HILLY and HORRIBLE ... the 4H! Felt pretty good...

'Achilles Heel' is the more common term I think.

That's what it was, Achilles heel, not tendon! Thanks Cal!

"What's your Achilles tendon?" - that's funny stuff!!

Actually a woman asked me that question during a job interview over the phone... I didn't want to sound like an idiot by asking what it meant so I opted for saying a lot of ehhhh ummmm hmmmm let me see... Obviously she realized I didn't know what she was talking about and clarified the question... They didn't call me for a 2nd interview - the moral of the story is, always ask when you don't know what they're asking you!

Nice job on the bike ride and the run. Hope you enjoyed your run to Will's as well! :)
