Comments: Week 20 (of 26) begins ✅ Cross-training day. Found a comfortable, better way to sit in the recumbent stationary cycle seat, not sure how to describe it (sort of like sitting on my tailbone, but on the bony parts on the bottom of the hip). Sort of the pivot point on the butt/hip. The cycling motion felt more transferred to the upper leg muscles and everything felt less strenuous. Just me in the community gym today. Watched the lawn maintenance crew and a few people walking their dogs. Have not yet solved the problem of taping my feet during runs to alleviate blisters/pain. 🤔 Woke up feeling a bit stiff in my legs. After exercising felt better. Finished an audiobook. On Sunday evening I wore my race shirt from the San Jose Half Marathon & 8K race held on June 2, 2024, and a passerby walking his dog stopped and we had a short conversation over their in-person participation in the race. They thought the mariachi band was not as good as they expected, but it seemed they otherwise had a good time. Still feels a bit unreal to be in marathon shape again. These 6 months have gone by quickly. My weight on Sunday was the lowest year-to-date ✅
