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.

Snow! Started on the river path, got slippery, so headed out to Fresh Pond - made the turn at FP Parkway and Huron. Sweet afternoon - but icy. Right calf is still sore, trying to baby it.

A one horse open sleigh out to Fresh Pond again over the ice, snow and slush. Many pedestrians to avoid on the sidewalks, ran in the street when prudent and the vehicles were considerate today. Right calf ever so slightly less stiff and sore, but legs still feeling the added miles. Plan is to average about 5.5 this week.

Elliptical for 60m, calf was sore enough that I gave it a break today. I think it's fine, but be good to knock the inflammation out so as not to risk anything dire. So goal is 30 mi again this week.

Travel day, heading out to Miriam's. Was hoping for a run in the pm but we didn't get there until 7:00 and ended up being too late. So looks like I'll have to run Saturday to finish out the week at 30.

Ran out to the corner of Fairmount Park via Merion Road and Upland. Got lost at the very end (went too far and found myself on Montgomery, not Bowman) which cut the run short by about .25 mi, but that was fine. More hill than I've been used too, which is all to the good. 

The Kinvaras (Kinvarae?) fit my feet nicely and the light feeling was great. At first they seemed blocky, but maybe they just needed a few miles to get broken in (or my feet broken in to them). 

Noticed something that I'd seen before - my left arch is noticeably lower than my right. I wonder if this is related to the fact that the fasciitis was always worse in my left foot.

Out for an evening run with Rob under Merion Station, through the botanical park, past the Catholic seminary across from St Joseph's University, then I dropped him off and ran 4x the football field by Narberth Station. Legs feeling pretty good.

It was really striking to see how few lights were on in the dormitory at the seminary. This is where all the priests on the eastern seaboard are trained, and the whole second floor was completely dark. There has clearly been a catastrophic decline as a result of the abuse scandals in this most Catholic of U.S. cities - many of the local bishops and the archbishop were implicated in the coverup. I felt sad to see this.
