Note
An update from a cousin of mine who really really seems to have her head screwed on straight. Can't help but smile.

Stopped by to visit Phil at the hospital. Stayed about an hour but then the doctor/surgeon was due so I headed off. The prognosis is on his page, some good (he'll live), some less good (at some point down the road he will probably have to say good-bye to some of his intestines).
His daughter Nora was there too. She is really cool. I was there for about an hour and the conversation was so easy about all sorts of things. But sorry, guys, but she already has a fellow.
Also measured his training loop, 132 yards as it turned out, pretty close to as advertised.
And also, just between my own two ears, worried. Because when you have a good friend, and they are suffering, it's just what you do.

11 AM
biking - red bike 27:17 7.79 mi (3:30 / mi) +158ft 3:26 / mi
ahr:126 max:148 weight:138.5lbs
First corn ride of the season. There are much closer farm stands but they just aren't as good. Very nice tailwind for all but the first mile.
biking - red bike 30:48 7.83 mi (3:56 / mi) +177ft 3:51 / mi
ahr:141 max:153
And the trip back, not such a nice headwind for all but the last mile.
----------
Found out just before I left that Phil is laid up in the hospital. It occurred to me on the ride home that what I was doing was in fact a training outing in honor of him.
Now realize that there are certain requirements to do a proper "Phil training," the principal ones being (1) that there must be pain involved either from the effort, or from various injured body parts, or both, and (2) that there must be some element of stupidity.
Without knowing I was in the process of doing a perfect Phil training. See, there was this slight matter of falling off my bike in the farm stand parking lot...
