Today, by the numbers

[magid]

17.1 miles biked
5+ hours spend doing Arisia stuff
3 algebra worksheets written on the fly (2 for the fifth grader¹, one for the kindergartenerfirst grader (how can it be, already?)²)
1 lunch with friends
9.6 miles walked



(edited to add notes)
¹ Fractions and decimals fine, no negative numbers; more than two-step equations fine; four basic operations only; use letters for variables. Also: very smart kid, can get ahead of himself.
² Whole numbers only for equations and answers, and reasonably 'nice ones' (small or otherwise easy up to 2-digit numbers; a couple of more than two-step equations solved; use shapes for variables. Also: scary smart kid, motor control still in process.

I am really impressed at your self-powered transportation abilities. I can't quite bike that far, and five or six miles of walking kills my feet dead, let alone on the same day.

Thanks. It's all relative; I know I was feeling cruddy at how slowly I thought I was biking, since I've managed to get on my bike so few times this year. On the plus side, the weather makes it easier for me to walk faster (the summer is just awful, swimming through the heavy air). (Oh, and the walking was in two chunks, there and back again, which is easier than one long stretch. Same with the biking.)

And I bet there are weights you lift I couldn't manage at all....
