This could be the day...one week no Devil; but M still here

RUN 4.4 miles in about 42 mins, HR ave 136, cad ave 174

As I was driving into FoPa, I saw a car that looks like LCs at the roundabout. Turns out, it was her! She's tapering into Steelhead. Me, LC, EW, MS, IT, and Tony today, BE out for a diversity conference at work.

The girls went short and the guys went long. I'd rather have gone long but I really need to rest. That extra 1.7 miles won't make me any faster come Sunday morning. LC talked about her upcoming races, this year and next. About the cyclist who was killed last weekend on Manchester!! EW talked about how she got into her neighborhood improvement and buying her house. I didn't talk much. At mile 2 I started pulling out and forward, MS commented that I was trying to reel in the runner ahead of us. (He was right!).

Great run, it's getting warm and I was sweating a lot. I don't think that's the head adaption kicking in. Speaking of which, TV sent me two links on that. Gotta read before the appt with Dr B on Friday.

Home early for Shoogie's vet appt. Anal glands and CIV. Afterwards I was mentally lost and disengaged. Had the urge to get shopping errands done, but didn't feel like driving. So I walked to SAL -- bananas, oats, fake butter, milk for kefir, and cocoa krispies. Let me point out here some hypocrisy (or should it be hypokrispies?) of earlier today saying that cereal is just sugar, then I go out and buy some "for my race this weekend".

Well M was around too. The hypokrispies are to the garbage, much of the oats too. However, I'm thrilled to say No DEVIL! NONE! A full week? But a full weak too when it come to the M. What do I really want when M is here? What am I avoiding? I don't even want him there, but there he is anyway.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
