| Well, it's hot inside and I have not been training. But, I have been very productive with this house... which will have air conditioning starting tomorrow! I think the lethargy will decrease when the inside temp gets below 90.
Tip of the day - I don't recommend getting your car washed at one of those friendly fund raising car washes if both of these circumstances are met: 1) the fund-raisers are a group of local missionaries 2) you have a Flying Spaghetti Monster "fish" on your car | ||

| Ugh. I am achy and tweaky and tired all over. This felt hard. Ran with Seabass to Reid and back. We didn't get out the door until after 8 so it was getting warm - probably low 80s.
I don't know about the Tucson 5000 tomorrow. Aside from running not feeling fun right now, I'm not sure I want to do yet another 5k where I fail to break 23 min, which seems likely given how slowly I had to run today. On a more amusing note, today is trash day! We're so excited! (We just discovered that our trash/recycling pickup day is today... we were gone every other weekend and were really confused as to why no one ever put out their bins. We figured we had some really environmentally efficient neighbors or something.) | ||

| Seabass has almost twice the training this week that I do. Slack. Er. | ||

| Okay, it was easy to get running recommendations for LV. But how about Butte, Montana? Anyone have any ideas? Might be spending a night there next week. | ||

| Mid-day run at Red Rock Canyon. Wuhu, thrust faults. We got in too late last night to make an early morning (cool weather) run on The Strip practical. Besides, after walking there last night I figured a change of scenery was good. Stopped off and got a recommendation for a short loop (it was getting close to 90) and headed out. Saw no one else out there so it was a nice, peaceful run. And quite pretty, of course.
Oh yeah, my quads were sore this morning. WTF? Since this is my first trip to Las Vegas I figured I should mention something about it. I have to say that I found The Strip to be much more mellow than I had expected, but I guess very late on a Tuesday night is not the wildest time of the week. I can see why gamblers and partiers and shoppers like it, but I can't see why people like me keep telling me that it's a sight to see and that I have to see it once. It's just not that interesting. | ||

| Cycling (road) 40:00 [1] 9.0 mi (4:27 / mi) | |
| Morning commute. By bike! Yay!
Knee didn't hurt at all riding. Obviously took it easy. Takes about 10 min to the gate, then about 10 min to the squadron. Not too bad. Ride home same, just hotter. | ||

| Played softball with the squadron team this evening. Out there for an hour, with some sprinting, of course, but can't bring myself to log it. We won, but I don't think that's a surprise.
Thought I'd be really rusty, and I was a bit with the purely physical skills... but I was also amazed at how much of it is instinct. They made me catch, which is the only position I never played all through school. I guess I was intimidating enough that no one tried to steal, and I *so* wanted to throw someone out at second. Apparently eating, sleeping, and breathing the sport every day of my formative years has left an indelible impact (in a good way). Hopefully orienteering will be like that eventually (maybe I should practice reading the map in the mirror every day...). | ||
