Retracing my daily route..

With two feet! Ran the 4.3mile instead of biking it this morning...took almost twice as long and maybe the effort (and sweat), twice as much too!

I still admire brompton commuters that can ride in 20 degree 'heat' in proper office attire and not expecting to sweat....perhaps 60% of their post train commute is spent assembling the bike?

So used to thinking with the eyes and lenses of a biker, my same commute seems lots slower, but not terribly slow. Lucky no sign of blister reappearance yet...but I'm rotating my shoes.

The Gold Rush is getting to be a good read. Especially the bit when MJ talks about his own running. Minimizing difference between stride length and frequency in the last 100/400 metres. Importance of arm movement as your fatigued legs will follow the actions of those less worked limbs. Upper body workout and keeping body straight.

My left legs are feeling the fatigue today and had to remind my arms to behave! The pavement which I rode on to avert a traffic jam yesterday felt very lopsided...as it did before plantar fasciitis hit during Prague.

Picture of the day: remember the Pied Piper? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Piper_of_Hamelin#section_3 some pics have been posted online about our first rehearsal and it's the time we've been led outdoors to play over 'c-section' ..a riff that goes as long as Andy sheppard wants ...





Haven't played outdoors in a long time...it's great to be able to on a sunny Sunday!
