The 3/4 marathon is in six days. A week ago, during a 17 mile training run, I did something untoward to a portion of a calf muscle. It wasn't clear until Tuesday that it was an injury rather than just soreness. Lots of rest, self-massage, walking carefully rather than rushing.

Trump has said that the two choices for the House today are pass the Kill them all bill (AHCA) or just stick with the ACA. He's moving on. It's my impression that it's not up to him.

It's been a while, but I ( Read more... )

I am intrigues by the constant Russia fixation in the news. I am more worried by Trump telling Putin that he (DJT) is planning to get rid of the new Start treaty than I am concerned that the Russians somehow rigged our election. They didn't need to rig our election - the domestic gerrymandering and voter discrimination policies did that ( Read more... )

To maximize profits, the races that are run on the Disney properties take place before the parks open to the public. The registration is quite high, but the runners have to be off the course (and out of the parks, as well as off of roadways) well before opening time. So we had to be on the way into the corrals by 5 AM. All the Disney property ( Read more... )
