Mary and I went out to Clinton. We parked at the boat ramps on the west side of the state park. Running on trails.

Part of the trail run involved some concentrated orienteering technique work.

Work commute.

As part of my project I climbed 14th street up to campus. The last bit is pretty steep.

Jogging on west campus. It felt pretty good. I took it easy.

As a fan of basketball and someone amused by sports journalism, I found this video a lot of fun.

Work commute.

Some exploring to add streets as part of my new project. I'm not sure how long this will be interesting, but so far it has been.

Work commute.

Slow trail run at Clinton. I didn't feel especially tired, but my legs didn't seem to want to run. I guess I'm still a little worn from the weekend.

Nice sunset at the end of the run.

I've started a new project. I read about a guy in NYC who is walking every block in all of the boroughs. I'm thinking of biking/walking/running every block in Lawrence. I started today. I've got a map at work and will mark each street segment as I go. The GIS guy at work says there are about 300 centerline miles in Lawrence. I'm going to exclude a few streets (23rd, 6th, Iowa, and maybe a few others) that are especially unpleasant.

I'm not sure I'll follow through, but I'll see how far I get before I lose interest.

I took a complete day off yesterday. I was tired and worn out from Saturday. I moved around a little bit - mowed the lawn and biked to/from the grocery store. But really I just rested.
