5 and change on the Santa Fe trail today. My mileage for the week stands at a whopping 15. Good news: hip felt OK this afternoon. I knew it was there, but no pain. It seems I can do flat surfaces at low intensity for now.

Forty school days left till playtime. I'm already conjuring up a few adventures. My short list:
