QOC Summer training. Squirrel Run map at Teds house. Took a leisurely run thru the woods and trails spending to much time trying to find the 'treasures'. Edged out by Valerie Meyer when she sunk her foul shot at the end before I could complete my task of weaving thru the cones. Got my revenge by stopping to find a 4 leaf clover and win the treasure hunt points competition.
After pizza, had some intense battles with Dave Onkst, Io and mostly Nadim at Fussbol, table tennis, and air hockey. Managed to win about 1/2 the time. Rib is feeling much better or I would have skipped the games.

DCRRC Thurston 4.5, Burke Lake VA. 6:45pm. Hot and humid. Time to see if a week of rest has helped my ribs. I thought I had been eliminated from placing in summer series but still a chance for 3rd. Two people have to miss 1 of the last 2 races and I needed to run at least one of them. Sticking with my no strenuous activity I tried to hold to 7min mile pace. Without splits I was just guessing and just ran a comfortable pace. Ribs felt ok, small twinge at 29min so I eased back a little. No worse today so I will probably resume running.
Not surprisingly, everyone ahead of me in the standings beat me again, as well as the two guys who can still pass me. They both have to miss the last race for me to stay 3rd.
Time was only 21 seconds worse than last year, but then last year I was sick all week. 29:27 in 2001.
After the race I chipped a tooth on a popsicle. Popsicles kept cold with dry ice are very hard.

At B and B. 8-9:30pm. Last chance to dance with Io before she returns to PA for school. Actually we went because it was ice cream night.

Walk to movies and back with Io. Saw Freaky Friday.
