(Non) Labor Day
This morning Matt and I were joking that it's funny that today is Labor Day, because in reality it's the last day before he and I begin laboring--classes start tomorrow for both of us.
So I decided to take advantage of the day off and the beautiful weather by going for another long bike ride. It wasn't as much fun as last time because I was alone, but it was nice. I printed off a 30-ish mile ride from the Harvard Cycling Association's Web site that seemed to be pretty direct. I didn't really get lost, but I did get confused because the cue sheet from the Web site failed to mention that some roads would change names. I was out there a little longer than I thought I would be, which I normally wouldn't mind but I wanted to get back for Matt's birthday. (He takes birthdays very seriously.)
We had a nice brunch together and he opened his gifts, and we are going to dinner at a place we have a gift certificate to in a little while. I'm especially excited for dinner because it's right next to an ice cream place that is supposedly the best in the city, and I've been wanting to go there for a while already!
I swam this afternoon and it was VERY crowded. I don't mind when people sharing the lane with me pool run (how COULD I mind?) but I had a particularly splashy guy next to me today. He was wearing those gloves that increase drag while pool running and every time I saw his hands underwater I wanted to laugh. At least it made the swim a little more exciting...
