Comments:
Well, today I had a running focused emotional crisis. I had assumed I'd run the weekly 5km today which I run every year. I allowed myself to go to boat beach with the girls and not to bring a watch and not to pay attention to the time and to doze for longer than I thought on the beach and to wander back to home at 5:27 for the 5:30 race which I'd already decided I didn't have any motivation to run. Still I was full of conflicting emotions and sat on Dad's porch watching the runners go by a block away, wondering if I could have contended, if I'd have to work to win, how much slower I'd be than i the past, etc. Turns out winner was around 19:40 and second was around 20:20 and was named Jimmy Cronin who was probably the Jim Cronin I'd out kicked in the Cranberry Classic 10km 20 years ago this summer... Still don't know what to make of this day... and my avoiding this race.

An hour later I jogged a heavy legged and unmotivated loop through town.
