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.

Foot only a little sore this morning, but discretion-is-the-better-part and so forth. So I hopped on the bike instead & chugged out to the aptly named Scenic Beach State Park by Seabeck, where I lounged on the shore and read Dickens. To spice things up--as if the most spectacular scenery in Washington State wasn't enough--wore my new Garmin with the heart rate monitor. That thing is flipping fun! Took it up to 185 bpm at the summit of Anderson Hill, otherwise was mostly cruising in the 140s and 150s. 61.2 miles round trip, avg 14.8 mph, flagging a bit on the return (until Snicker bar no. 2 just past Poulsbo). Pretty satisfied with that, as the hills were vicious and trafficky.

Note to Highway Department: two separate flats from road trash. Please improve shoulder maintenence (or my vision, whichever seems easiest).

Back to the track tomorrow.
