Running around on West Campus. I felt bad the first 5 minutes or so, but then things loosened up and all was well.

I covered less than one poronkusema.

MTB ride around on West Campus including 4 trips up and down Half Ulrik's.

With the students back in town, West Campus is lively. I was entertained by the drums for the marching band who were practicing at the paved football field (which sits at the top of Half Ulrik's Hill). I was amused by the race car tearing around the parking lot. The race car is a neat idea, but I wish it was a little further away from our house. We can hear the roar of the engine. It isn't loud, but it is a little annoying.

I shuffled around on west campus this evening. There's a nice (but small) field of wild sunflowers. I stopped for a look.

Running to/from the start/finish of a little orienteering course. The first 30-40 minutes of today's run was in a nice cool rain. Sun came out for a few minutes and it got warm/muggy. Then the sun disappeared and it was nice again.

I observed some strange driving that I imagine is related to students being back in town.

I jogged through a practice course on the map I call "Mom's Neighborhood" or "Tower Park." It is a sprint map - basically street orienteering with a couple of small areas that are more interesting. Fun.

MTB - roads to/from the river trail and single track on the river trail (with a tiny bit of gravel thrown in). Fun ride and I felt good.

Met Mary downtown for dinner at Mad Greek. Nice but with students back, Final Friday, and nice weather the crowds were big. That's why we went early.

Got home and wanted to get out and do something. I rolled around on pavement, gravel and grass on west campus. Stomach felt full of Greek food.
