What a day! Gorgeous out. Beautiful. Will picked me up and we drove a loooong way to Olney, MD, and did a great, tough, hilly 1-hour ride, mostly in a farm-like setting/residential area. It's funny how you are so exhausted when you're going uphill on a bike (or running) and you think "man, we should've picked a flatter route", but then you get to the top, or finish your ride, and it feels so good! In the afternoon I ran on the trails of Rock Creek Park for a bit less than 1 hour. Nice and shady. Lots of people out.

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).

Biked to the office in the morning (5)

Ran to Dupont to meet with Camille, did 4.5-ish miles with her on the trails of Rock Creek Park... she is getting really fast!  Afterwards I ran back to the office to get my bike and bike on the CCT to Bethesda (10). Awesome day!

Rainy day - Metroed to the office, did the long bridges run (Key bridge to Mt Vernon trail to 14th St/395 bridge, also known as "Jaws Bridge")... probably a bit less than 7 miles. Still raining but not very hard. Picked up my bike back at the office and biked to Chevy Chase on the CCT (10 miles) - My entire body and face were covered in mud after the ride, it was not a pretty sight.

Still raining! This must be a record year for rain in DC, fo sho!

Ran from Chevy Chase to the office, trying a different route... Connecticut Ave. to Nebraska to Reno Road, around the Observatory and back on Wisconsin and Georgetown - the last mile is a nice downhill. Took it easy but feeling good in the nice, colder weather.

If I had gone running even for a little bit, and if it had been a little less cloudy this would have been the best day ever e-ver, period.

Will took me to Blackwater wildlife refuge in southern Maryland. One of the most beautiful places I've seen in the East coast. Absolutely gorgeous! We biked 40 miles on the almost empty roads, a very flat ride but we were going fast. Then we kayaked for an hour or so, we were pretty tired... Will bikes on his mountain bike the whole time, so he gets a great workout!  Too tired to run when we got back, tomorrow I'll get a good run, hopefully with Mr Montelepsy!
