Personal:

I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume.

Back in the saddle! The hiatus has been killing me, not least because spring has really sprung out here on Puget Sound, the weather is comestible, and everyone from the herons to the sea lions to the babes in bikini tops is letting it all hang out. But no sense in picking a chronic ailment a few months before the race. So--two weeks on the elliptical. Ugh.

Didn't want to overdo it, ran around the track for half an hour at (Garmin enforced) 8-8:30 pace, except for the second-to-last lap, which I took in 6:45. A few minor complaints from the foot along the way (mostly the heel, now and again something like a cramp in the arch), more tenderness from the newly-healed tissue I think than anything serious. We'll see how it feels this evening, but I think we're back in business. Let's try 4 mi a day five days this week and see where that leaves us.

What's the race a few months off you mention in this post?

I got your email last and replied today, we'll hook up soon. Hopefully this weather holds, it's something else right now.

SF Marathon, baby. If the fasciitis doesn't clear up soon though I'm not going to be in shape for anything under 3:45 or so, in which case I'll probably do Portland in October.

Wasn't today something else? You should have seen Seabeck. Next sat is theoretically viable-- will give a ring end of next week.
