am--9 Sugar Loaf out-and-back w/ some pickups in the 2nd half. Good group and good push this morning. This route is one of my favs before dawn.

pm--5.5 So my alarm didn't go off this morning, and I ended up missing morning practice. The run this afternoon was nice, though--some grass loops around BHNP. The crew looked good. 

Pete recommended a book to me--Love That Dog by Sharon Creech--so I took the necessary 20 minutes and knocked it out. The book is the diary in verse of a boy's introduction to reading and writing poetry.

am--1.5 Weights/Harts. Pretty quick pace this morning. 

pm--5 Foremaster out-and-back. That hill is always a good challenge. 

I just finished a fascinating read. Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer is the author's account of his year in memory training, commencing with his coverage of the US Memory Championships and culminating in his winning the US Memory Championships. I need to develop some memory palaces and create some mnemonics with the PAO method. Memorization is a skill I'd love to learn.

am--5 Some running up and down and around while the kids did their hill circuits. Nice workout to bust out of the cocoon.

am--6 Some laps around the track at the run-a-thon. I switched directions every miles. That helped because the kids were hitting 400s for the dash for cash. It's lame to get passed relentlessly. An interesting data point: my against-the-grain miles were noticeably faster than my go-with-the-flow miles. 

I finished “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles. This is the 4th or 5th time. How cruel is fate?
