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.

Overcast morning, got in a run. Somewhat achey, unless I held it above 8:45 or so. Above that more problematic.

Battle Point Park loop + Manzanita Loop. Was planning to go 12, but ITB tightened up at mile 10, walked about a mile and stretched it, then tried again for another mile. No dice. Hill and crowned roads kicked my butt (kind of literally). So I ended up sort of power walking home 2 miles, 14 in all.

I'll be a bit glad to get off the island from the running standpoint. Some nice blisters right now.

I have been very achey the last two days. Was planning to go out yesterday afternoon, but leg kind of hurt and work went long etc. This morning still felt crappy but after two miles the fog sort of lifted (not outside--a perfect overcast Puget Sound day). Ended up with a very satisfying if short run.

The only fly in the ointment was the SUV that pulled up on my tail right before I rolled into home. I hate when they just sit there, refusing to pass, often honking at you gratuitously, as if you can't hear their 300 liter fuel injected engine from a mile away. Sometimes they yell things. It's always SUVs. I shouldn't let it harsh my buzz, but this one got under my skin.

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!
