trail running 37:52 3.71 mi (10:13 / mi)
ahr:136 max:156 weight:139.5lbs shoes: roclite 305
Same route as yesterday, mainly so I could tell JJ how far the 305 said our run was. I was planning on an extra 20 minutes at the end, but it was warm and enough was enough. Heels are a little less sore, but I still need to be careful.
1 week to go.
Fresh Air, interview with a journalist who wrote about Iraquis forced into excile. Very interesting.
And for JJ, the same couple was on the platform at Sachem's Head. Yesterday, we stopped to take in the view, nice day but a strong wind. He was sitting on the edge of the platform working on his laptop. And just as we got there she scurried off down the slope, and then reappeared a moment later clutching a piece of paper that must have blow away. As she came up past us I could hear her say something to the effect of, Praise the Lord for finding the piece of paper.
Which, off course, seemed a bit much to me. And then, before I could stop myself, I came out with, God helps them that help themselves.
And then JJ and I were off, with a short discussion about where my phrase came from, and was it from the Bible, and certainly if it wasn't, then it ought to be.
I heard from JJ later that the phrase is credited to Ben Franklin, a source of much wisdom.
And back to today, no stopping at the platform or any attempt to engage her in further conversation, but that didn't stop her from calling out to me, "God bless you."
I suppose it can't hurt.
