Cool morning, hot day
It is supposed to be in the 90s the next couple of days...yuck. But it is starting to feel more like fall, even on a day like today where it did get hot during the day but it was nice and cool this morning. Another hint of the seasons changing is the fact that it is dark when I get up and dark when I get home! Since we are changing the clocks back later this year, I thought it would feel very different, but I guess it only means that we'll have fewer of those days when it gets dark at 4:30 pm.
In any case, I am glad to say that I had another pretty enjoyable run today. My biggest complain was some pes anserine pain, or at least what I have come to identify as such since some doctor once pressed on that spot really hard and told me that was what it was. I find that icing and foam rolling it helps, but it is one of the most difficult spots to get to. Anyway, I ran up to the Cathedral and then was going to do my usual AU loop but decided to head down to Georgetown and onto the Rock Creek Parkway instead. I used to do this route often but it's somehow gotten out of the rotation. I enjoyed mixing it up a bit although this route also involves coming up the dreaded Calvert Hill to get out of the Park, and I am sooo slow on steep hills that I pray no one drives by and witnesses my pitiful sight.
I was doing so well getting stuff ready for work relatively on time this morning, and then I realized when I got on the bus that I had forgotten my cell phone. Oops. It ended up being fine since I was at my desk most of the day anyway, but I felt very disconnected. (Maybe that's a good thing?)
It was still pleasant in the shade at lunchtime today so I read a little while I ate my sandwich, a nice way to break up the day. We had a high-stress meeting as the very last thing on the agenda today and I was a little worried I wouldn't get to the gym tonight, but I had enough time to do a cursory lifting routine and my leg circuit. I've noticed, in case anyone was wondering, that the number of students at the gym has already lessened now that we're in the thick of the Fall semester.
Matt's working late tonight so I'm on my own. I have a ton of ironing to do but am not very motivated to do it as it is all in the room where I had a mouse sighting on Saturday. I know, excuses, excuses!
