The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

Put in a good 5 1/2 on Thursday in the warm sunshine. I left the office at lunch and got back in under an hour. I used the Kinder Park Trail which is finally drying out from the rain and the melt. There are still a few wet areas but everything is passable.

It's nice to see everyone getting back outside. All the play areas were full of kids and the benches evidenced that romance remains alive in Spring in Maryland! Couples were absolutely cooing over each other all around the park. Don't these people have jobs? Oh, I almost forgot the lunch hour, the double digit unemployment, and "the human desire to have you come near" captured by Mr. Mellencamp as the metaphorical walls come tumbling down.

Body is feeling alright but still going through the "ramp up" soreness phase of training. My back issues are diminishing but I have been slacking on the PT this week. Gotta get back on that today. Frederick seems a lot more realistic now than it did two weeks ago. I will take a rest from the road today and then have a go at a slow 8 on the B&A tomorrow. By next weekend I need to stretch the LSD out to at least 10 miles. Goo may be involved...and some pain.

One day at a time.
