Mid may - spontaneous assault

Mid May 5/14 Monday. Just work. Walk 10 miles as usual.  5/15 Tuesday. After work I ran 5.2 miles. Started slow at near 10 minute pace and got faster. For the last 1.1 mile it took me about 8 minutes. I did not get the exact seconds so it was at about a 7.5 minute pace which was about a 90% effort. 45 minutes total.  5/16 Wednesday. Got a late start but rode up to Tigerville. Went up the Callahan mountain climb (12%) slowly. The Poinsett bridge has had a lot of work done on it with sidewalks and such. Beautiful day in the peaceful woods.  Continued on to the Greenville Watershed and past the Saluda/Hendersonville split toward Saluda. Turned around since I wanted to be downtown at 6:30 pm. They were having a "Ride of Silence" bike ride to honor cyclists killed on the road. I was slightly late but joined them for most of the very slow ride around Greenville (a 7 mile loop). Had to leave them around 8pm so I could get home before dark. 70 miles total.  5/17 Thursday. My knees were a little sore so I avoided much climbing or running today.  5/18 fri. Ran 5.7 miles. 49 minutes.  5/19 ran same 5.7 miles 47 minutes.  5/20 Sunday   Thought about the assaults on Marion and Mitchell. They are tomorrow morning.  After work, looked online (8:30 pm) but online registration is closed for Marion. Might go over there in the morning.  Btw. Bro Andy is in California  following Tour Of California bike race.  He took his bike.   5/21. Monday. Woke at 4 am. Drove to Spartanburg with bike. Signup for Marion 6am. Couple thousand of us leave at 6:30. End up at Mt. Mitchell summit 8 hrs later (7 hours of riding). 103 miles & over 11,000 ft climbing.  5/22 Tuesday. 6 mile easy ride. Rear end so sore. Used unpadded seat yesterday. Clean 2 bikes (making back sore). Later twist wrong and develop lower back spasm/pulled muscle. Can barely stand up.  5/23 Wednesday. Work 13+ hours. Walk 9 miles. After work run moderate 3.2 miles.
