| 6.5 Miles in 49 minutes on the treadmill set to 1.0 incline. So, if my math is right, I've ran 33 Miles this month, including today's 6-miler. At any point now, I'm expecting to be kicked off the blog. Remind me to never play in charity basketball tournaments...organize them, support them, raise money to support the cause, BUT DON'T PLAY. Left knee still sore from sprain on April 28. Had two good runs last week, but I pushed a little too hard on Monday. Anything approaching MP hurts. Need an escape from reality, and fortunately, I get one this weekend when I meet up with my brother, Luke, in Detroit for our first in a series of "Best of [insert U.S. City]" weekend trips that targets untraditional travel destinations, i.e., Detroit. Should be fun, and interesting, no doubt. Maybe I'll run. Maybe I won't. Wesley |

5 Miles in 38 minutes on the treadmill set to a 1.0 incline in the downtown Detroit Hilton Garden Inn.
So, the first in our series of "Best of [insert U.S. City]" weekend trips that targets untraditional travel destinations has been even better than expected. On Friday night, my brother and I had dinner and drinks at Cafe D'Mongo's, a throwback "speakeasy" off a side street in downtown Detroit, with a charismatic owner/host, and a hospitable staff and crowd. Detroit has a southern feel to it--a smooth pace, good food, and great people. Charming even.
