| Out to Nauset Light beach and back. Still trying to dope out the best times and places. It was dark by the time I got done with moving stuff, had my flashers on and not much traffic but still a little nervous. Also an unanticipated enemy - very large and hungry mosquitoes that seem to swarm from dusk till dawn. Have some DEET, and assume that they're only an issue above 8:00 miles or so (there's incentive for you) but I'm thinking morning runs from here on out. |

| Canceled today's training run and decided to ride in to Provincetown instead. The challenge was to go on the ocean side of the cape without hitting the highway at all, which turns out to be possible only if you take a lot of tiny, meandering, unpaved and unmarked roads. Bumping along through sinkholes, down sandy morasses, past lovely secluded kettle ponds. When I got lost this very hot woman at the "package store" by South Pamet clued me in. Not the most efficient route -- I found that on the way back. But a great ride. About 50-55 miles in ~4 hours and I was completely done in when I rolled home at 9:30. Slept well. |

| Out to Cahoon Hollow and back via the CCRT and Ocean View Drive. It's about 7 miles each way and I didn't really want that much distance in one day so walked the last 2.5. Was feeling really good at the turn, but eventually yesterday's expedition caught up with me. I really like this as a regular run, though, especially as I get stronger over the summer. |

| Had to go to Boston for a morning meeting - woke at 4:45 and was out by 5:00 I think. Slowish pace, out to the 5.75 mile beach and back. Needed some stretching at the turnaround. Rolled in at 6:44 and had to rumble to get out on the road by 7:10. Amazing morning, they all are pretty much. |

| Goose egg. Ended up staying overnight, didn't have running shoes. Got back in time for a run but biked to Wellfleet library to do some work. Peasoupish rain, but the air temp was warm. |

This was a decent run, did it in just over 1:29. The last three miles were the best, one of them in 6:47 which made me happy. That seems like a good target MP.
I will stop saying "nice morning" for the sake of economy. Many cute rabbits. Do they ever get run over by bicyclists? Doubt it -- fast buggers. Yesterday I saw a cardinal. They are red just like the Catholic ones (for those who haven't caught a game at Busch Stadium). |

| Slight strain in the left quad due I think to tight ITB. Runnable but uncomfortable-- didn't seem any worse than yesterday when I began but about mile 3 it started to give unhappy signals, little electric twinges, and I cut the planned 11 miler short. Next week I think slightly shorter runs but without missing days and rabbiting. Not quite ready for MP. |
