Paddle board race at the Georgetown Waterfront today for a good cause, www.paddleforhumanity.org.

Deluxe Bus to NYC

Thank goodness, Deluxe Bus delivered Julia safely to NYC.

First Holton XC Race

Go! Go! I wanted to jump right in along side her! This makes me want to sign up for a race!

Yay, Julia!

Gym-Pact Update: Earned $3.36

It has been awhile since I posted my weekly "income" from Gym-Pact. Good news--thanks to slacking vacationers--the average amount over the summer (per week) has been over $3! Wow, that is almost enough for a fancy coffee drink. ;)

Runkeeper, EveryMove, Garmin, MyFitnessPal, GymPact

Steven and I had a productive app downloading and connecting session yesterday. Provided I remember to turn everything on/off... if I use RunKeeper to track my run, it will sync to GymPact, EveryMove, and Twitter (@writerls). MyFitnessPal and Garmin will also sync to EveryMove.

So, what is EveryMove? Go to www.everymove.org, you can earn points for being active and select a reward. They are lacking in reward choices; however, why not get rewarded for something I'm already doing.

MyFitnessPal, www.myfitnesspal.com, tracks food, water, exercise. I haven't used this very much, but I might start depending on how many points it earns me.

The Garmin heartrate monitor supposedly syncs and earns points as well--provided I start and stop it for each run. We'll see how it fairs tonight.

I think you can see my RunKeeper stats for today, here: http://t.co/4Dl2XA7uz6
 

Of course, it did not sync today's workout yet!

Not Ready for Fall

Gorgeous weather in DC made for a nice morning bike ride with Steven and a pleasant short, afternoon run. I don't want summer to end just yet.

Google Maps Image Capturing Device Spotted on GW Campus

Can I take your picture? He said,"Sure, I just can't pose for it." Then he flashed a nice, big smile.

Hello, George!

You don't see George, the George Washington University mascot everyday... but he was hanging out at the main quad today.

George, GW Mascot!

Georgetown Market near PNC Bank

I found a great little market next to the PNC Bank (M Street & Wisconsin Avenue). Shop for plants, baked goods, soaps, clothing, purses, hats, jewelry, and more!

Beautiful weather for ultimately enjoyable running.

Geese Hanging around Washington Monument

I am not a fan of geese. They are bold, brave, and barely get out of the way for runners.

Fall Crew at Thompson Boat House

Fall crew has started already! It is nice to see the morning buzz at the Thompson Boat House.

Beautiful, cool morning to row

Signpost Down at 30th and O St.

You don't see an uprooted street sign everyday. I'm sure Georgetowners will have it fixed in no time flat.

Georgetown Waterfront Fountain

Cloudy and mid-80s made for a nice mid-day run. The Georgetown waterfront was packed with boats and people.

JFK Exhibit at Newseum

The Newseum is a favorite! You could spend all day here. Kids under 18 years of age are free for the summer. The new JFK exhibit is very well done.

Rooftop View of Georgetown

A special visitor came to see me after work today! We are on the roof of my building; behind us is Washington Circle and Georgetown. We have had unseasonably nice, mild weather here--perfect for running, of course.
