Was visualizing Ryan Halls marathon running stride, and trying to translate into cycling terms.

I ended up watching the Olympic Trials marathon after getting up at 6:30, waiting for two hours for the video feed to work, seeing the finish, and then watching the entire race from the beginning to the very end... who would think watching the last four miles of the clear winner's run could be so exciting?

to nursing home. cold enough to want goretex mitts and lake winter cycling shoes at start (31) even though that was a little toasty by the time i got there, and warm enough to shed jacket and gloves leaving just a couple hours later.

friends house to play scrabble. noticed left leg in free spin is definetely weaker than right, mainly in hamstring where burly policeman kicked me in Taekwondo 30 years ago.

Ran the Districts cross country course at Wilmore Park (5k), not racing but trying to run a even tempo. Time was 23:15, which would have placed me 18th out of 42 in the girls race, just shy of qualifying for state, and 50th out of 53 in the boys race! (boys winner ran sub 16) Actually pleased considering my run is quite out of tune, and its a rolling grass course time.

(Sub-18 to qualify for boys state, sub 22:50 girls)
