Cross training - basketball, 3-on-3 full court. I was on a team with 2 young, fast, tall kids Kyle and Keegan. They helped carry the old, slow, short guy although I did contribute...assists, steals, rebounds, 3 pointers, middle of the key jumpers, drives with left handed layups. It was one of my better days.

10.4 miles @ 9:22/mi. Murdoch trail north to 1100 N in PG. Mostly solo. I ran into Royce Bybee and Martin Wright a few miles in. Martin took a detour to run a big hill and I ran with Royce for 2 or 3 miles until we met up with Martin again and they turned back. I enjoyed the conversation.

I went on to the pavilion at 1100 N in PG (near where we play basketball). On the way back I ended up chasing a runner ahead of me for 2-3 miles. I finally passed her with about a mile to go in my run, and told her how hard it was to catch her. I thought maybe I had pulled ahead a little, but when I turned off she was right behind me and wished be a good day.

The trail is such a blessing to so many people. It was full of walker, runners, roller bladers, and lots of bikers. I try to greet as many as I can, and most are very friendly and say "Good morning" right back. I feel a little sorry for the ones who don't. I very much enjoy the ones who do.

I'm back-logging, but if I recall correctly this is when I strained my right calf and walked back about 4 miles to the car to try to avoid a more severe calf pull.
