"Beautiful Sunday"

Not much to report on this gorgeous day. I swam 1000 metres this morning and when I got back I told Claudette how great I felt, and indeed I had no soreness or other unpleasant reminders of my ride. Scheduled for the afternoon was a run around the block, and that's when I found out how I really felt. I still enjoyed it but it was like running in quick sand. I have 4 more rides at that distance or longer, and with longer runs afterwards. It culminates 4 weeks before the race with 200 kms followed by 10 kms! Holy Cow!

Gonna try to get a good nights sleep tonite as tomorrow morning we go to the clinic for the saliva consultation. Of course I'm gonna see what they have to say but I just can't see doing anything before Aug 30th. Hopefully they are not in too much of a rush. Oh and by the way Cory, one of my triathlon books suggest potato chips as a way of combating hyponatremia, which as you know(but the civilians may not) is low blood sodium levels caused by excessive sweating.

I wish to dedicate day 270 to my friend Joe Sikora, who's got me thinking of running a fall marathon. Childs play!

“Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn’t see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love. Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will. At least the ancient Greeks were being honest.”---Chuck Palahniuk

"Birds are singing, you by my side
Let's take a car and go for a ride
Hey, hey, hey, it's a beautiful day
We'll drive on and follow the sun
Makin' Sunday go on and on
Hey, hey, hey, it's a beautiful day"---Peter Charles Greene(Daniel Boone)
