shoes: Hoka One One Tor Tech Mid WP
7:11 AM; Washburn, WI
9.3 °C; Partly cloudy
First extended hike in a long time up here. Me\ant to repeat hiking along he Sioux but the area was too wet from recent rains. Ran into Cody, the overweight lab who got his walk from his owner riding the van. Dogs were happy to meet each other again while I chatted with the owner. From looking at the pooch, I thought that Cody must be about Mellie's age, at least over 10 and was shocked to hear that he's only five. Thought to myself how important a good diet and plenty of exercise is ...

Had my eye on this round log for a while. Walked down with Roux and waded back towing the log in mostly hip deep water. Good resistance/specific strength workout. Water temp was a very bearable 16 C.

Light rain for most of the walk, gradually increasing during the las couple of blacks. The gates of heaven really opened as soon as we were inside.

This morning was another gift from Thor, the god of thunder and lightning. No rain, even dry pavement after some rain this night and much more on the way. There was some light fog, giving everything a mysterious appearance. I stopped a couple of times to take pictures of the Grain Belt sign next to the Hennepin Ave bridge. Good ride! Assuming I will take the train for the way home this afternoon. By the way, surprised I wasn't more sore after yesterday's first bounding intervals. Must be doing something right, wonder if it could be my daily stair climb?

Started drizzling, hence, a shortened walk. Quick walk around Hamline Campus. Roux is disturbed by people dressed up in rain gear looking at their cell phones while walking and making aggressive moves towards them, another thing to work on.

Second gift today, would not have thought I'd be riding the bike instead of the LRT. But made it almost dry, it started drizzling when I got onto Como.

Glad it stopped raining after this stormy night, made it to work almost dry. I am pretty certain I figured out my shoulder pain: my right brake lever had been pushed out of alignment during the last car trip with the bike and I had been too lazy to adjust it. I would not have thought that it would make such a difference but it did. Yesterday morning, my ride was painful. I pushed the brake lever mount back to the neutral position and lo and behold the ride was more comfortable and the shoulder pain is subsiding.

Cool weather hike. Dogs like it. Glad it wasn't wet at all, not even the grass. Chatted with the woman whom I have seen for years walking her dog through our neighborhood. Her dog is aging, getting very slow. Takes them about 5 minutes to walk the length of a block with many stops to snif and sniff and sniff. This reminds me of our yellow lab Barley's waning days. Sad to see. Soon, it will be Mellie's turn but for the time being, she is still a spry old girl.

First dryland session of this fall. Started with brushing up on bounding technique, no poles, going up the lower portion of the A climb. Then, the main part of the workout, 5 x 5:00 at L3. Hung in there with Anatoly and Jim, running or running-like activities ares till easier for me than skiing.Happy to have increased speed slightly over the five intervals. Sopping wet from sweat. Excellent workout!

Still quite warm this morning, though it felt warmer when I took the dogs out around 5 AM. Wind almost calm, just a slight hint of a breeze from the west. Now starting my rides in almost utter darkness, which I wouldn't mind but for the fact that many cyclists insist on having their high beams on.

Shortened walk due to rain. When we crossed Hewitt in the middle of Hamline U Campus, Lynn drove by on her way home from the U. The dogs were besides themselves, especially Mellie, who was distraught that she couldn't go home with Lynn in the car.

Based on the GPS track: the Garmin does not like the DT highrises. Just barely made the train, had to run to the middle car because the bike racks in the first one were taken. The door closed on the bike.

Meant to include the fields but the dogs started to overheat. Crossed MN Fairgrounds twice. Big horse event on way N and snuck past a motorcycle parts swap on the way S. Actually thought I was having to go around the Fair but we were able to squeeze through the not quite shut N gate.
