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. |

Sweet run. Weather was super lousy the last two days as only Seattle in the winter can be, and me fighting a cold, I bailed on Saturday. A new week, though, and a holiday to boot--got up somewhat late at 8:00 and did a big loop around past Northgate. Crisp, clear weather for once, air was orchardish, or orchardian, or maybe orchardist. Cooking dinner Christmas eve, all I had planned in advance was beet greens (I usually build a menu on what's on at the supermarket), but they and the seared steaks and yams came out great.
Slow and easy, 8:25 average. |

| I love doing anything outside on Christmas Day morning. Everything is silent, by contrast to the night before, which is, ironically, not silent. Around Greenlake to Ravenmna, then over the hill to the Burke-Gilman Trail, and home via Gasworks Park. No problems, 7:50 average. |

| Unplanned rest day. Came straight to work from the folks' place on Bainbridge Island in the early AM and ended up having about four hours of errands after I got home. Wiped. |

| Felt pretty good. Out to Northgate and back around the lake. Average 7:50 for the ten miles, then a cooldown half-mile. The last four before that were around 7:20-7:30. |

Around the lake and home via Gasworks Park. Felt pretty good, kept them under 8:00 until the last 1.5 mi. A bit of medial right knee soreness at that point. May be time to retire the Nimbi, I'll have to add up the mileage. Average 7:50 for the first 9:00. |

Loop da loop, Burke Gilman to Ravenna to Greenlake. Couldn't fall back asleep so at 5:15 I just went for it, despite the weekend, then came home and "napped" for 3 hours till 9:30. The pace and effort were "recovery run grade," I guess. Didn't feel all that great, unsurprisingly. But now the legs are fine. Funny how that works. I'm going to try another week of 5x10 then maybe 6x9 and 6x10 the weeks following.
9:07 average. |
