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 till 9:30 PM then got an hour's run in. Was frustrated not to find more time, and wanted to maximize what miles I could squeeze out of the day, so ran a bit too fast. During warmup the achilles was sticky, and as the run progressed sensitivity seemed to migrate up into shinsplint territory, at which point I backed off. Rest day tomorrow, then we'll see if four ten mile days this week is feasible, plus four on Saturday. But all of it supra-8:00.
I have been meditating a bit on Sasha's physiological model of "neural drive" (as opposed to weak-mindedness) and the various factors that can inhibit it. I find it very applicable right now to the process of writing my dissertation. True or not, it's something of a comfort to imagine, when I'm stuck or blocked--as this weekend--that something "objective" is in the way rather than a characterological defect.
8.00: 8:17, 7:30, 6:56, 7:19, 7:27, 7:50, 8:25, 8:05 (avg. 7:44).

| Rest day, but the truth is I could have run. Everything feels great. A new level of durability, maybe, which would sure be nice. |

| 530 with DG + 145th via Bitter Lake to Interurban Trail. Moderate pace, forgot to charge The Watch, which was fine. Only fly in the ointment: by the time I got back to 80th there was already an unending stream of traffic. May either have to run faster or figure out a better route as I add daily miles. Felt very strong after only 12 miles on the weekend, hopefully it will serve as a good recharge. Right ankle soreness nowhere to be found. |

| 530 with DG + Interurban trail to 145th. Nothing special to report. Felt pretty good, took it mostly around 8:05 which I guess is sort of my Tinman tempo at this point. Joke. |

Worked late, hot date, had to squeeze a run in between them. Felt the need for speed, and was able to run relaxed throughout. Working somewhat hard on the faster mile to keep it up, mostly mental effort. The legs felt fine.
4: 7:38, 6:47, 7:22, 7:27 (7:17). Waverider. |

| 530 with DG + Interurban Trail to Aurora bicycle bridge. Beautiful clear morning, stars and moon, winy air, but co-o-o-ld. No frogs. |
