| I'm finding that i'm stretching and tensioning my torso muscles almost subconsciously, when i toss and turn in bed or when I get up. Its gratifying that its becoming 'second nature'. One of the best effects of training seem to be that you do things without thinking that used to be a big deal physically and mentally. |

| cold, but the regular sock, neoprene sock, bike shoe and velcro neoprene shoe cover do very well.
Christian Cycling club meeting, didnt 'want' to go, but SOMEONE from the CYCLING club had to ride their BIKE there, for 'ahem' God's sake.
We plotted how to lure young kids on long bike rides where we would earnestly talk creationism to them. just kidding, actually it was all pretty harmless, we just LOVED one another. You know, prayed, and talked about how we would set up feed tents at bike races, just give things without wanting anything back. |

| did 'control aiming' at the castlewood south flats, found that generally useful for bearing and pacing training, but when i did muff something there wasnt enough on the map for me to figure out what went wrong w/o running to the trail.
then ran to the west tyson flats to run a training course i had sketched out for myself. fun, but very swampy - all part of the training. did make major error of running from 2 to 9 and thus running the rest of the course backwards, will wonders never cease, hopefully this will not happen at a meet!
spent some time on both courses just running to features to see how they were mapped. |

| Lone elk from meeting in kirkwood, then icy muddy trail to start point and back, then to my fathers for dinner, then back home in south st. louis, gravel trail along river des peres. fat tires, pack, headwinds neoprene booties, etc. made for slow going.
also frustrating: seeing the extent of mans destruction, going so far out to try get out past it, sucking mucho fumes and riding by a string of chemical plants etc. to get there, only to find all the flood trash and debris in the flats, known and unknown, feeling just sucked under by the vast tar pit of poisoning. |
| biking 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| to initial bus station, didn't take that long so i tooled up and down the gravel path by the river des peres for a while |
