Making sourdough squash, kale, corn pancakes (mostly) and strawberry raspberry jam from the garden while listening to the Clash on Teenage Kicks (The Current 89.3 FM). Then biking to the Farmers Market if my back will let me.
Had a little pain after trying to lift the balky dog up the stairs, after pulling a calf muscle running fast in hot hot heat. It's thrown my running schedule off but, except for the pain, I'm happy for a little break. The last few weeks I've been tired in the 90 degree heat and unable to go run in the gym for various reasons. (It's not much cooler there, but no sun beating down.)
I have been reading the bio of Lopez Long, a Sudanese lost boy who ran for the US in the last two Olympics, and just broke the indoor American record for the 5,000m. The video is worth watching, if you google it- nice surprise kick ahead of the leaders. The book is interesting, tho a little too fawning on W.
I'm now reading Alan Hollinghurst's The Spell. So far it's pretty captivating. It meanders with lots of scene description, but he has this style that makes that sort of gripping, very 19th century. Working on a novelish thing that delves into the spiritualism and poetry of that era, so it fits.
