| Pine Banks park-o. Hot and humid (car said 90F but I don't quite believe it). Nice course by Brendan; not bad orienteering by me but got caught in the green a couple of times and got beaten by John by 45sec. No, wait: timing error: I got John by 45 seconds. Nice to finish my CSU park-o career with a win. |

| Museum - Anderson loop. Very sluggish; at the beginning was suffering from sore quads, sore knees, asthma, indolence, and leprosy. By the end, merely the sore quads remained. (Yes, the leprosy was that bad.)
The secret to enjoying a run along the Charles is: 1) have it be borderline foggy and getting dark so you can't see too far; 2) intend to turn back at every bridge so it's never too far (initial plan was to go around the Museum bridge and then back via Longfellow, which must be at least 2.2 miles total); and 3) be about to leave Cambridge so you start enjoying it for its own sake again. low 60s F, dewpoint in the low 50s. |

| Easy at 9:10pm. Red Sox - Blue Jays. Boring game. After barely being able to walk due to sore knees (both of them) for most of the day after yesterday, it was nice to get a bit of motion in. Tentative diagnosis: tight quads. |

| Running 1:47:57 [3]13.9 mi (7:46 / mi) | |
| shoes: henri dutilleux |
| Davis - Pine Hill, Skyline loop, and return. Should have brought water, but underestimated the effect of even the relatively mild conditions (guess: 73F dropping to 69F, dewpoint 53F; probably a little more humid under the trees) and got reasonably dehydrated. 58:56 for the Skyline: slow, and the light was sketchy at the end (8:40pm at the end of the Skyline loop), so that I was probably backing off a little. Knees not hurting from previous problem, just from the pounding that the Skyline loop gives them every time... sometimes I wonder why I enjoy this.
Edited to add: maybe this wasn't so slow after all. My PB for the Skyline is 56:54; adjusted best in 55:49 (allowing for the detour when the reservoir was being repaired), both in 2001-02. This is the best time for a while, although I've run the loop much less frequently recently. |
