A short and very hot ride in the afternoon. It's not so exciting because it's on a bike path right next to Rt. 1, but it felt good to get out. I was thinking of going longer, but my shoulder started hurting again, so I turned back.

I saw ospreys, red-winged blackbirds, and many, many seagulls.

In the morning, I went to the doctor and learned more about the heart, and blood going in and blood coming out. Then, an electrician came to fix an outlet in my house, and he taught me about electricity going in and electricity going out.

Then I left for the beach.

Lunch time class.

Brown course at Fountainhead. 4.8 km

My second fall yesterday was a Superman sprawl in which I must have really wrenched my shoulder. It hurt a little for the rest of the run, but by last night, it hurt a lot but I could still raise my arm. I put the heating pad on it and took 800 mg ibuprofen.

This morning it still hurt, but I really wanted to go orienteering, so I decided to just walk the Brown course and work on navigation. I did walk the course, my navigation was not stellar, and I made some bad decisions in the woods...the kind that I always have trouble with -- I decide on a route choice and then halfway through, I start modifying it, most often for the worse.

It was also unbelievably hot and muggy. I was sweating before I even started. On some of the controls, I had to help my hurt shoulder/arm with my other hand so I could lift it high enough to punch in at the control.

My arm still hurts.
