am--9.5 Sugar Loaf out-and-back w/ some predatory pace at the end. It was dark and awesome, and I felt great. Good group of girls that are working hard. RHR--48. 

pm--2.25 Ran around the school grounds at a leisurely pace. I'm seeing some belief.

am--3.75 DI/Weights/Harts+. Decent run. My heel is sore after I jumped to try and touch the rim on a basketball hoop. Old, I am. RHR--48. 

pm--6.5 Green Springs. Decent run on tired legs. Ellie and Add were pushing today. Kids still seem to love running. Erged 1k after.

am--4 Harts/Bank. We had a small crew this morning. ): Hope everything is ok for everybody. The body is bouncing back. RHR--53. 

pm--3 Warm and cool w/ the kids, sandwiched around the workout. Some improvement, but we still have work to do. 

I finished a bio today--Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd by Mark Blake. I've always been a sucker for music bios, and this didn't disappoint. At over 400 pages, It's a real tome. Nonetheless, it read fairly quickly. Creative tension is a subject that has dominated my interests recently, so the relationship of the big dogs--Roger Waters and David Gilmour--provided a good case study. Two egos can amaze and thoroughly underwhelm. It depends on their symbiosis. My favorite quote from the book comes from Roger Waters: "You can't give up. You have to keep bashing away or else you're finished as a human being" (340).

am--3.75 DI/Weights/Harts+. Decent morning. For some reason, I'm still trying to catch up w/ everything, especially sleep, this week. RHR--49. 

pm—6.75 Telegraph out-and-back. We actually had a decent group for the run. 6x barefoot striders after.

am--2.5 Nice, chill run to the bank. RHR--49.

pm--10.5 Turkey Farm Rd. The climb is roughly 700ft. to the turnaround, but it's pretty gradual. On the way back, the legs get going enough to really move the last flat mile or so. I love runs like this, such confidence-builders. Lots of good things today. I had some kiln-fired pizza, as well. What a treat.

am--5.5 Herky Jerky Trail(?) w/ Tom. This is a trail that skirts around Webb Hill. It's a pretty sweet trail. Reminds me a lot of the Rim Trails on the SCRR. Runs w/ Tom are always great, too. He's full of knowledge about psychology, astrology, music, etc. There's never a dull moment. RHR--54.
