First 10-miler since Boston, now that the rain finally let up. Once I loosened up, it went pretty well. Negative split, 9:06 average. But I had to go and make it interesting. Caught my toe on the sidewalk just past St. Ed's on Rogers and splatted. No face plant, but scraped up my left elbow pretty well, somehow; also left knee and left hand. Right side unscathed. Also seemed to land on left ribcage, somehow; maybe that landed on top of the elbow, not sure. Anyway, a decent run. I'll get in some track work tomorrow night and then coast into the 10K Saturday.
Last night's date postponed; Vicky had family issues of some sort. Somehow this does not surprise me. Still think there are possibilities there, but it's disappointing. Suffice it to say, to no one's surprise, my love life is in disarray, to put it mildly.
Going to Bryant this afternoon, I guess. Get the parental visit out of the way. Probably will go to baseball game Thursday night, then back up there Saturday for the race. Lot of traveling this week at $3.79 a gallon, but whatcha gonna do? |
