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.

Pretty sore to start out. Stretched at about 2 mi and briefly slowed to a walk, then decided to give it one last try and it was fine. Running more on my toes (or at least pointing them) seemed to put less stress on the leg, so maybe it's in part a mechanical problem.

Postscript:  small blisters on both big toes, right in the same place. Interesting.

Yo Aaron! When the heck did you move to MA?! Never thought we'd be in the same state! How you been feeling? How are those feet treating you? Did you ever get your laptop back?! CHeers Keep in touch.

nice to hear from you. hope you're enjoying the summer break and keeping cool. Today is a bit better, not sure how it is in Pittsfield. I was out there on Memorial Day.

Did you see the parade? I was going to do the 5k but opted out of it because it was just too hot!

It is a bit cooler today but the humidity is atrocious. I simply cannot do lesson planning and studying in heat like this. :( Hoping that it will be a bit better after this week.
