Lazy Sunday, and I was planning to sleep/read/watch the Bears away the afternoon. But as I sat there on the couch, the sun came out. This time of year, what choice do I have when I get that glimpse of a blue sky? So I threw my stuff on and went out to get some Vitamin D. It didn't last long (the sun, that is, the run lasted a little longer), but it was nice. Quickie around the two bridges at a brisk pace, for a brisk afternoon. Felt good, though I'm still in 'keep it easy' mode. A few other runners were out, so those guys must have as much apathy for the Seahawks as I do. 36:10 supernova glide -- 365

| | Easy morning run on Shore Drive. Been fighting a cold this week, plus some long days at work. Played basketball Tuesday night also, and my right quad is finally healing from the deep bruise. I'm regaining the full range of motion in stretching again. Might skip the weekend's Turkey Trot though, I don't think I have a race in me right now. 21:00 supernova glide

| | Met Mike at Evergreen Park for a "no watch, no route markers, no plan" run. It was surprisingly nice out this morning, guess the snow was waiting for us to get that one in. We went up the Warren Ave bridge, down through the rehabilitated Lions Park (which looks fantastic these days), then up the Stevenson Canyon Trail, back into Manette and across the bridge, then a short loop through downtown Bremerton. I'd guess it was 7 miles. We were on our feet for right around an hour, but stopped a minute at Lions to scope the scene, then stopped on the Manette Bridge to watch construction of the new span. Good morning of fellowship and relaxation and touring the city, more than anything else training-wise. Then we grabbed a quick coffee at Samudra, and I went up to the Y and played hoops for 90 minutes. I was dizzy with hunger and exhaustion by the end. Pile of French toast for brunch. I did something to my feet playing ball the other night. Both plantars are a little sore, not really painful but they feel swollen or something when I walk barefoot. Strange, and it seems to be the worst when I'm on the basketball court.
