A week with Irena, Ilana and Julian

Thu, 07/19/2012 - 7:20am

Nora is getting a lot of attention this week. Irena is taking care of her during the day when we're at work, and Ilana and Julian make sure she is never bored.

Yesterday I worked from home, to give the Zanes time to visit a museum, and Nora took the opportunity to sleep a lot.

Last night we went out for sushi which was very nice.

Nora and her cousins

Tue, 07/17/2012 - 8:22am

Saturday the Zane family came to visit. Irena and the kids are staying this week to take care of Nora, and they are having a great time together.

One of the highlights for Nora was when they made her do "jumping jacks" in her chair, with Julian moving her arms and Ilana her legs. She had even a few sips of cantaloupe juice.

She couldn't sleep from excitement.

9 minutes faster

Mon, 07/09/2012 - 10:40pm

So it's at least 15 degrees cooler than Saturday and that resulted in a 9 minute improvement in time.

I was also a little worried that I had pushed my left leg a little too much during Saturday's run, but today it felt okay. Not great but okay.

Run was awesome. I felt some much stronger in this temperature! I ran when Sasha came home from work.

Distance: 
4 miles

41 minutes

Well, at least I finished the run

Sat, 07/07/2012 - 12:02pm

Wow! It's so hot!

Yesterday evening I gave up after 1 mile when it was 93 degrees so today I tried again... at 97 degrees. It took my 8 minutes longer than my usual slowest run but I did complete the 4 miles.

I brought water and took several long breaks to cool off. The run shouldn't have been much longer otherwise I'd have to walk, and I'm proud that I completed it.

On my way home I saw a little girl who was running from the fountain straight to the traffic lanes on Wilson. The mother couldn't grab her on time so I stuck out my arm and stopped the child.

4 miles

50 minutes

Aborted run

Sat, 07/07/2012 - 9:52am

I gave up at Virginia Square, after 1.1 miles. It was just too hot (over 100 degrees), it was a Friday afternoon and I was tired. Let's try again today.

Glad I brought a bottle of water.

Distance: 
1 miles

Nora's first Fourth of July

Wed, 07/04/2012 - 11:03pm

Today was another very hot day -- the temperature reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We enjoyed a relaxing day off indoors with the AC and on our balcony. In the afternoon we went for a walk with Nora, whose stroller was decorated with two flags.

We fired up our grill for dinner and at 8.45 pm we went to the Iwo Jima Memorial in Rosslyn where we saw the fireworks. Well, Sasha and I did. Nora slept through the whole show. It's nice to be able to walk to those things.
