| Dee & went to see the new Bloch addition to the Nelson-Atkins Art Gallery in KC. Walked around for about 3 hours. Certain that contributed to the sore muscles on Mon, June 11.
Again, no lunch finding an open Ethiopian restaurant for Dee, so we ended up at Aladdin Cafe (same owner who has a place in Lawrence) - the food was good (mint in the felafels). |

| AM - Rock Creek Trail Series - 10 Mile. Seemed tired and groggy at start probably from lack of sleep this week. TRails were nice and what I expected. 1st 5 went north along the rockier trails; 2 nd 5 did the south loops most of the tracks fast and smooth. Couldn't see clearly (eyes could not focus) and felt light headed (dizzy) as early as mile 2. By mile 3 wondered if I could even finish & thought about abandoning at 5 miles. Slowing down seemd to clear this dizziness. Had to look carefully to avoid the rocks and stumps. Kept pace with Bad Ben Holmes to mile 3, but the goal became "run to finish". Exhaustionwise felt great at the end. The blurriness was annoying and did not enjoy any of the scenery. Tree-cover is great for running in the Kansas summer. Recommend this event and trails to anyone. Won a nice set of sunglasses (I'll trade since they're not prescription) and a year's subscription to TrailRunner. |

| running 40:00 [2] | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 |
| AM - Ran to Dog Days (#2), checked in, then took photos of the workout. Didn't use a high enough ISO setting so everything was blurrier than expected. So, no calisthenics today, but that's OK since I'm still sore from last night's yogilates. |
Wednesday Jun 6 |
| strength/stretching 55:00 [1] | |

| PM - Yogilates. This stuff is hard if one is quite inflexible. Will not put any strain on the back. . . |
Tuesday Jun 5 |
| running 38:00 [2] | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 |
| AM - run to KU stadium, 19 out, 19 back. Easy, then almost at tempo; steady/easy on way back after Dog Days. |

| AM- Dog Days #1 - I'm counting days again until I get my shirt (I NEED another one - start the second set of a thousand. . . : )
Entire football field filled with participants, some of us stood on the track (not as damp - us ol' timers know that). Asked to sign waivers this year and we had an emergency on day one - some guy fell. About 5 medical types were on the spot.
Red Dog, the ex-Marine, said this is not boot camp. Besides, people in New York (& Lawrence KS) pay to do boot camps; this is free. |
Monday Jun 4 |
| strength/stretching 55:00 [1] | |

| PM - Yogilates at Community Vldg - start of twice a week evening workouts for the summer. The yoga part was familiar and comfortbale; the Pilates I'll need to get used to. |
