MDay-123 -- Wed. May 21

Today I did Monday's assignment (bike 12-14), as on that day I ended up only biking 4 and then running 6 (which latter was on the card for today). Home early for Ascension Vigil, managed to change and head up there on bike -- the Mule as I've had no time to replace the axle on the other. Pretty muggy and warm, even in the two miles there. Cooled off over the hour of the vigil Mass, then headed out afterwards at about 7:30. Down Jabish to 9, and along past the first Quabbin entry to the second one, in (past a semi-closed gate, grrgrr) to the east end of the big dam, then start up as if for the tower, but at the rotary go straight on (and on!) to exit at the far entry point off 9. Then back along 9 all the way, reaching max. 34mph and 16 miles.

Comment: wow, this made some parts of me very sore--but usefully, I hope. The "exercise every day" mode I'm in now is very new, but it feels like real training. Thanks to the season I managed the whole thing in pretty good light too.
