Kayaked for 2 hours in the Potomac with Will - beautiful day. Then we drove to Schaeffer farms to do some biking - my bike broke down the other day so I borrowed my co-workers road bike. Will was on his mountain bike, so he was working a lot harder than me, I liked that! Hank's bike has cages on the pedals. I was trying to figure out how his gears worked and the chain got screwed up, so the bike stopped and I got one foot out of the cage but not the other, so I slowly fell on my side. Funny stuff! We watched the Tour de France afterwards. So much drama! We'll see what happens this week. So exciting!

Biked from Chevy Chase to the office this morning, super fast on the road bike, awesome, passed everyone and nobody passed me! I need to get one of these...

Did the bridges run at lunchtime - a gorgeous day, a bit cloudy but not too humid or hot.

Speed work tomorrow!!! I need to read up on that, I have no idea how to do real speedwork...

Ran from the ofice after work to the Mandarin Oriental hotel to meet with my friend that works there. Was going to do some intervals but my right calf felt really tight, my left leg hurt on the side, and my knee was feeling funny. Boohoo!

My friend Sangeeta is new to running and trying to get in shape, so I'm trying to give her some pointers and encouragement. We did about 2 miles together, slow and taking a lot of walking breaks. I ran home from there, legs feel better.

So, no speed work - i am the worst...

Sooooo busy, sooooo tired...

Ran home from school, a beautiful evening in DC. Felt squeezy, weird during the 2nd mile, stomach cramps too, so I went slow and took walking breaks. Weird. I made it in 38 minutes, so I guess I wasn't going as slow as I thought. 

Ladies and gentlemen, this Rocket is reluctantly but officially in love... geez, this sucks...

From the office to Chevy Chase after work, feeling good, took me exactly 1 hour. Some tummy issues at the very end... made me think about Eric... maybe there's something going around? :)  Big thunderstorms around, I got completely soaked and worried about my Garmin, but it made it ok.

From Chevy Chase to the office in the morning. Feeling sluggish. Very humid. Stomach cramps... Saw my friend Ashley on Reno Rd., she lives nearby - that was nice.

I'm probably going to do a hilly half marathon on Sunday near Schaeffer farms... it's very very hilly, so I'm a bit scared... I ran it last year so I was hoping to compare my times and do better, but they changed the course this time.

Did I tell you the course is very hilly? In any case it'll be a nice training.
