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.

Very satisfying Saturday morning run. Out with David to the trail system on Stottlemeyer, did about 45 minutes there, quite decent clip. Then at his suggestion we chugged up to the Pt Gamble turnoff and back - 70 min in all. Slight BR emergency about 100 yards before the cars, luckily D came armed with TP. Bushes are good.

Still having problems with tightness in the skinny muscles between the tibialis anterior and the calf proper; once again after about 15 min/2-2.5 miles; and as soon as I stretch it for three minutes it's OK for the duration. But very uncomfortable if I don't. Kind of annoying. Wonder if there's something I can do to get it looser more of the time.

30.2 for the week, second week above 30 and this time it feels like a pretty good pattern (two long two short), allowing me to sustain this level without too much wear and tear until everything is back to normal.

Postscript: I usually don't nap after runs, but did this time and I feel great!

Naps are good. I had a killer 2.5 hour nap after my run yesterday!
