Stayed with Sangeeta last night to make sure she was OK with the pain killers and all... she was, so this morning I metroed home. Her sister and some other friends were coming over to see her today, so I knew she'd be ok. I was planning on going backcountry camping with Will and some friends, so I got home and packed for 2 hours, had everything ready for when Will picked me up... the rest of the group was already in Shenandoah, we were supposed to meet them at the backcountry site. Will got to my house and told me he really shouldn't hike with a heavy pack at all because of his injury (he needs to get surgery on his feet for an issue the doctors can't tell exactly what it is but think surgery would help...) - he had told me he couldn't hike "very much", but I asked him how much is too much and he said 3 miles would be OK... but then his macho man retreated and his reasonable man came out and realized he shouldn't hike at all. Grrrrr, why didn't you say so before I wasted my time making all those plans and packing? Water under the bridge... so we went mountain biking instead, to Schaffer Farms, GOR-GEOUS! Had a fabulous time, didn't fall, got tons of bruises though, not sure how. I was able to get over most roots, rocks, and logs, but a few I can't do yet... Fun times!
We went back to Bethesda and I ran 4 miles on the Capitol Crescent trail.
15-ish miles mountain biking. |
