| a.m. A mile plus of running around with my kids on their sprint tri. Both of them won in the 12-14 age divisions. Regrettably, the division was broken down as 18 and under. I'm really happy for both of them. The goody bag had registration cards for a 10k on Thanksgiving; Jens already paid for his own entry, and Grace asked me to sign her card. Good stuff. In the p.m. We went to Freedom Hills for a Labor Day picnic following a day full of yard work and cleaning. Of course the switchbacks beckoned. I completed four with my left morton toe throbbing and my blistered right instep refilling. Afterward, I rooted around the valve boxes in the park and turned on some sprinklers to run through and play frisbee. Most of us got all the way wet. Jack got a few drops and didn't like it. He said quite a lot of stern gibberish, so I got him out of the wet zone. It was a great send off to summer vacation. 5 kids back to school all day tomorrow. 60/100 |

| It got dark, so I did 6 switchback equivalents on the treadmill. 10% incline, 6 mph for 5 minutes. After each one I ran around my .5 mile block for "recovery". It was hot and sweaty in the basement, much more cool and windy outside. 66/100 |

| 8 p.m. Jack was sad, so I got him out of his crib and we delivered a few bills. He stayed awake till mile four, but was very quiet. I would ask, "Jack, are you still awake?" He would answer me in his guttural, glottal talk, and we'd visit for a while. He went to sleep nicely when we returned home, thank goodness. I hate listening to the baby "cry it out". I barely kept going after I got the bills dropped off, one mile in. I felt SO sluggish. I've been staying up late watching baseball, and it caught up to me. I promised myself a big chocolate shake if I endured the run. I must be in full marathon mode, because by mile 4 or 5 things felt pretty good. It's weird how it can take so long to warm up. No switchbacks. :( |

Due to a last minute camping trip, I missed going long Saturday morning. After spending the day working around the house, I knew I needed to get some work in, so off to Freedom Hills, just after sunset. I knew the darkness would limit my number, but I can't fall behind. On the third trip down the switchback trail, I rolled my rt ankle so far that I felt it up to my knee. I'm lucky I'm small, and don't put that much weight. I foolishly persisted, and did two more, descending much more slowly and carefully. There's a certain spot on the trail where I heard some critter hissing at me each time I went by. By the 7th time by, I decided it was some reedy plant scraping on a rock in the wind. But it hissed at me on my final climb; I remain unsure what the noise is. In any case, I was glad to finish. Afterward, I went and got scraped around the tennis court by my son. He's quite a player, whereas I haven't played much tennis. It's too much like pulling weeds; most of what you do is pick green things off the ground. Good times, though. 77/100.
