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.

Out to Walden Pond via Trapelo Rd. Felt really good for the first 9 miles or so, then the hills and sun began to wear on me and by the time I pulled up at the Thoreau B&B sign by the state park I was dusted. Averaged 8:58 for the run.

Gal and Leo came with Einat and the car to pick me up but by the time they arrived at 10:20 the park was closed to additional vehicles until 1:30, which was kind of a bummer. We ended up swimming at Cochituate State Park -- ecologically and sociologically a totally different ballgame.

I think for this to work I would need to leave closer to 6 than 7:30, mitigating the heat, too. 

My route (not complicated) is here. Nice late lunch at an Italian restaurant in Concord, followed by espresso ice cream.

Jamaica Pond and back. Felt strong for 5-6 miles then a bit dehydrated - need to remember to drink at the turn. But the muscular fitness is pretty good at this point I think. Still a bit of nagging soreness in the right ankle/foot. Trying to keep it stretched out, and it hasn't gotten worse since I noticed it last month.

Jamaica Pond with a little extra. Drank and stretched at the turnaround by the JP boathouse, which seemed to make a big difference. Legs a bit dead, but not terrible. All systems go.

Jamaica Pond Plus (tm). Legs feeling really good. Stretched again and hydrated at the boathouse. One warning sign of the miles I'm adding though - the twinge in my right ankle has crept a bit into the plantar fascia.  Not serious for the moment and I am taking good care of it I think (stretching, soaking) but I will finish the week with two light runs Thursday and Friday and try to get good sleep.

Jamaica Pond Plus (tm). Not as springy as yesterday but kept it slow and steady.

To Arsenal St Bridge. First 4-5 miles were like running through oatmeal, then picked up a little bit. Most importantly though, no soreness after a 60 mile week, my first since January 2008. Good stretching and methodical slow training pays off.
