pm--7.5 A nice jaunt to the roundabout and then up Lava Flow. Plus, I've been going for a walk every evening. It's been nice. Don't know if there is much of a physical benefit, but it builds some soul force. Tomight's walking bonud--I ran into an old buddy who knows a ton about VWs. The bus is happy. RHR--53.

pm--7 Rim Circuit. I hit the trails on what was supposedly the hottest day of the year so far. Mitigated by a light breeze and cloud cover, the ~90-degree heat wasn't nearly as oppressive as you might expect. The run was great, a truly sensory experience. Yellows and purples and greens go well w/ the eternal brown and gray.

And then--I was in a truly meditative mood--it dawned on me that the body becomes a defacto drum kit, keeping time on the trails. The lungs keep the basic frame w/ the in-and-out of the breath. The crunch and slap of the feet are something akin to the hi-hat. And with my hippy-dippy jumiper-berry bracelet, the armswing mimics the soft rattle of the snare. 

Despite the greatness of the run, there were some jumpy moments. I just missed a snake crossing. (Don't worry, not a rattler.) Rabbits dive in and out of the bushes. And lizards randomly transect the trail throughout. All-in-all a good day. RHR--52.

am--7.5 Moe's w/ Tom. Nice, warm day. It was a good day to be on the trails because all of the bike freaks seem to be enjoying the Ironman in some way, shape, or form. Always good to go dirt cruising. RHR--55.
