am—4.5 DI and bank-and-bank. Decent run. I was just hoping that I wouldn’t break down midrun. I didn’t. 

I finished To Kill a Mockingbird for the umpteenth time. It really never gets old.

am—5.5 A dark, starlit run on the path adjacent to the marathon course. Took it pretty easy and enjoyed the company. The aid station was as good as ever w/ dancing, singing, & general tomfoolery.

I also finished Greil Marcus’s When That Rough God Goes Riding. It’s a book-length meditation on listening to Van Morrison. Van is the man, & a dive into multiple places in his catalog leave one w/ the impression that he might be at the pinnacle of songwriters and performers. For anyone doubting, see any live clip on YouTube, specifically his performance w/ The Band on The Last Waltz.

am--9 Hospital w/ some pickups. I really enjoy this crew. 

I finished The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien by Georges Simenon. It was a quick detective read, and I didn't see the end coming. Maigret is maybe a top-10 detective for me.

am—2.5 Bank and back in the frizzin’ cold. Felt good.

pm—7.5 Warm and cool w/ some counterclockwise grass. Ran more than I thought I would. There’s something “coming in the air tonight.” Long drum fill and auto tune reprise. We’re Phillin’ It at PVXC.

am--20 minutes biking around SCHS.

pm--7.5 Warm and cool and some running in between while the girls did their workout. Had cider after. 

I finished Stillness Is The Key by Ryan Holiday. His books are a nice, quick chunk of knowledge and anecdotes and some hurried writing. I get it; he's making money.

pm—3.5 Just something easy to get a run in. My leg eases up and then tightens up. It’ll be a battle until I can rest it for a week or so.
