1. Meg rousted me this morning to revive our summer bike ride tradition. It was beautiful out when we rode. The back cove and Casco Bay were glassy. It's wonderful to sit outside on Commercial St. when hardly anyone is around yet (we get there around 6:30, just before the early commuter ferry docks). Now it is sprinkling and we may get a thundershower this PM, but I got a seven-or-so-mile bike ride in, and an hour plus of yardwork, too.
2. If the storm blows through fast enough, we may still get to play volleyball tonight, which would take my activity level from so-so to spectacular.
3. The reason the age classes were so small at Close-to-the-Coast is that all the serious runners there were in the 10K. New strategy for finishing high in my age group: run 5K's on weekends when there is a "big" 10K, 5-miler, or other (It wasn't just the 10K taking away competition; the Doc's Tavern race was the evening before, and the Maine Mile was the same weekend too). Helpful tactic: start actually racing the races instead of just jogging and running.
