Long ride

Rode around town randomly today.  There was a lot of traffic and a lot of tourists.  I made it out of Manhattan pretty successfully, if slowly.  On the way back, it was a different story.  Too many people everywhere.  However, I did make some pretty awesome time on the bridge on the way back, but I didn't have my Garmin engaged.  Sad face.  I was going 30mph down the west side of the bridge.  Oh well.

I did a loop around the park for good measure.  There were a ton of people around the lower loop.  Too many pedestrians in the road.  Saw another cyclist accident.  No good. 

We'll call this a recreational ride...  I like riding.  I want to do it more often, just regular.  Without having to train.

Friday Morning Swim

Two hundred yards of warm-up plus a thousand yard ladder with a hundred yard cool down.  It was really nice to be in "my" pool at "my" gym again.  I felt great there.  And swimming a full 25y before turning around was a great treat.

Make Up Run

I set out to run this morning, but decided to stop by the Starbucks (where I lost my bag yesterday... along with about $500 worth of mostly new equipment) to see if anyone from the morning shift knew anything.  Turns out, they did!  The NYPD had my bag.  I got on the phone and walked up to the precinct, signed for my stuff and headed home.  Very good way to start the day.

When I got home I only had a half an hour before I had to leave for work, so I shortened my plan and did 2x 5t,2r instead of 4x 3t, 2r.  Barely made it in time to leave for work.  Turns out it didn't matter and I ended up working from home, but...
