Comments: Taking an off day. Thought about XT on the stationary recumbent cycle, but too busy. Probably OK to taper as I prepare for Sunday half-marathon. Booked hotel & parking. Realized due to schedule conflict we may have to pickup our bibs on race day for an extra fee 😛 We will not be able to make the Saturday race expo, which runs from 9:00-4:00 p.m. Updated my Garmin smartwatch workouts to note the run pace for each. ✅ Hard to believe it has been 3 weeks since the SF Marathon! Reviewed my "improvement" notes from the SF Marathon, and realized I still do not have a reliable fueling strategy. No time to really establish one. I have energy gummies. Shown above is the Roark - Alta 5" Shorts (Color: Costa;  Item #207190) I purchased on August 5 from REI--just before vacation. Out of many shorts we looked at, this one actually has a roomy back pocket for a phone. It also has roomy back-side pockets for keys & credit cards. I wore them on Wednesday and they seem to work OK. I did not try putting my phone in the back pocket as I was monitoring a mobile game. We had gone to REI buy new boots for Dawn, to give her toes some relief. At that time, I also purchased: Honey Stinger Waffle & Honey Stinger Gluten-Free Waffle, and GU Energy Chews (Strawberry). Also purchased 2 bags of Tailwind Nutrition - Recovery Drink Mix (Chocolate). Nice thing about using the REI credit card--many of these purchases are offset by the kickbacks given by the credit card companies. 😛
Any irregular feelings, aches, pains, heart rate, and so forth?: N/A
