::: not training, blogging
not a whole lot of cycling happening, which is to say the mountainbike race sumie discovered & signed me up for could be even more comical than already anticipated… still, there’s a few weeks to go, & i am planning to get on the bike at least a few times between now & race day, if for no other reason than to remind my legs of the whole round & round thing…
oh yeah, & i bought new tyres. thus far preparations are following more or less in the footsteps of previous attempts to prepare for similar things: good intentions, sporadic equipment purchases, little in the way of actual activity… likelihood of that changing? who knows, but ya gotta live in hope, right?
ruh roh — & from the rather drastic revision of timelines department, it turns out i don’t have 11.5 months to “prepare” for my next 10k “run” (i use both words in the loosest possible sense), since sumie & i have been mysteriously signed up for a 10k out in gunma prefecture next march… which, despite my recent experience in the shonan 10k, i’m really looking forward to… (possibly because some tiny part of my lizard brain is sensing the opportunity to buy yet another pair of new shoes…)
so far, no pox — hana has recovered from her bout of chickenpox without any problems, & thus far haruki seems to have resisted the temptation to break out in sympathetic spots, so that just leaves me with my fingers crossed… depending on which part of the interwebz i want to believe, only another 3 to 14 days of waiting for the other shoe to drop…
basketball — played some ball for the first time in forever on tuesday night… amusing for all concerned, really…
[update: turns out the thing in gunma is 11k, not 10. a whole extra kilometre of fun.]
