No one with whom to run long, so I volunteered at a local club 5K.

Took down the sukkah, cleaned up, stowed the parts.

Several hours of gardening, ripping up lemon balm taking over the lawn, preparing holes for new stuff Susan planted. We found a few cucumbers and a cluster of cherry tomatoes growing amongst the weeds.

Caught up with some of the gang doing a long run.

Moreland loop; Garmin said 3; I thought it was 4. Have to check the track and see if it went haywire during the run.

Run around the WSC 5K course w/ R. Afternoon run. No data. Just delightful weather. Legs feel a little bit shy of 100%, but substantially OK.

HR/Weight measured at the Dr.'s office. I'm surprised by the HR=76 reading, but that's not a real resting HR. I wonder if I had been diligently tracking rHR whether I would have detected an up-spike as my cough turned productive.

The PA opined that I'm fighting a virus; no other strep-like symptoms

I had the best night's sleep for the night after a marathon that I can recall. Yes, I ached each time I rolled over or shifted positions, but the aches were less sharp than typical after this much (over)exertion.

Today, I feel less beaten up than after the Highlander. I'm walking around reasonably well, only slowing down when I go down the stairs.
