Today was a great day, I forgot the memory card reader again, but I still have pics from the last few days. I rode in this morning a little before 5am, so my picture from this morning looks DARK, all you can see is the light from my headlight and the lights from the Washington Monument. I left work around 2 since I was in so early and hit the Curtis Trail for the first time since I hurt my back. Went alright, started pouring on me on the way down however. Bummer, had to go slow and careful. I did not want to get hurt! Then, we have a leak form the air conditioner, so I have a VERY loud fan blowing in the apartment. Should be really easy to sleep tonight.... (sarcasm HEAVILY intended)

1 More day to vacation!!!!

Quick entry today, VERY VERY bad day at work. In the middle of a large project, commuted in, commuted home in just over 17 minutes!!! Sprinted all the way, had a slow leak and wanted to get home before the tire went flat again. Not going to get into it!

Great commute today, flew up the hill in Rosslyn with no issues at all! Back held up very well. I really wanted to do the Curtis hills today and maybe some intervals, but I am trying to be careful.

I lost my memory card reader, so no pics today. I am going to pick another one up tomorrow, so pics will be up then.

Feeling good!!!

Well, was able to ride again today. Not only have I lost some of my muscle mass not riding for a week, I also lost some of my heat tolerance. It is hot out there folks! Heat and humidity, nasty combination. The back is not 100%, would actually put it around 60%. But that will have to be good enough. Anyway, I did another 10 miles today, no hills just like yesterday. Trying to take it easy. I work for the rest of the week, and am going to try to commute everyday. It will be a little more difficult for me to commute with a pack on my back and up the Rosslyn hill, so tomorrow will be a good indicator. We'll see, I will let you all know how tomorrow goes. Thanks for sticking with me.

Well, I am riding again. Back is bothering me, but it is bearable. Hopefully it will only get better from here. I am being careful not to push it, just ran a quick 10 miles today. Will do another 10 tomorrow, and let everyone know.
