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.

Worked late, got kind of a little late start to meet David at 25th and Trail; hauled a bit more mule than planned. First was about 8:10 I think then a couple of 7:20s and a 6:38 (6:00 or so on the hill part). David ran a 10k yestrday and was looking to take it easy, but we got to yakking and somehow headed off to Gasworks at a pretty good clip. Sorry David! 7:32 average for the run. Nimbus.

Not a run, an adventure. Snow in Seattle means slush on the ground, and boy I got slurped big time. Late dinner not totally digested, so there was strange turbulence inside and out. Wet feet, but strangely exhilarating. If I made it through this, perhaps the routine has been established.

Incidentally, on the one patch of snow that wasn't turned to dreck, I noticed that my footfalls are really splayed outwards. Is that just how one runs on snow I wonder, or might it explain the ongoing fasciitis?

Mizuno.

Home very late, barely got the run in before midnight. Slog, man, slog. Watchless, around 8:15 I think. Mizuno. The Mizunos are about done (relatively few miles on them, not cost-effective) I'll need to get another shoe in the rotation.

Got home tonight feeling like I'd been run over. My blood sugar must have been really low, though I tried to supplement with a PB&H special. Should have gone later, after dinner. Anyway, just took it as slow as necessary, but even that was a struggle. 9:00 average. Nimbus.

Ate and napped first, and felt quite a bit better. Still, went pretty slow. Watchless, but about 8:30. Nimbus.

This evening's run caps off a record week (55.5 mi), and a stretch of two weeks/100+ miles without a rest day. Legs are a bit soggy, but really not too bad considering. Actually feeling pretty good. But I'll enjoy tomorrow's off day and get lots of work done.
