Comments: Raining off-and-on. Moderate exercise mid-day on the stationary recumbent cycle in our small community gym. One person was inside when I arrived, using the Star Trac cross-trainer or elliptical (I can not remember which the gym has). They left, then two others came in briefly and left after using weights. Watched people rushing by the window as they got caught in a rain shower. One woman carried her small white dog. Outside my window is a tennis ball caught in the bush. I keep meaning to retrieve it and put it back into play on the lawn. We have kids who play pick-up cricket, which might explain how it ended up trapped by the window. The calendar year is winding down, and I'm thinking ahead to 2025 and possible running goals. Yesterday I read an inspiring story (to me) of one woman who completed the CIM 2024 and qualified for the Boston Marathon 2025. The lesson I took away was: increased mileage  = faster pace. She ran ~40-55 miles per week this year. I'm averaging ~21-22 miles per week (roughly, 986 running miles / 45 weeks). 👀
Any irregular feelings, aches, pains, heart rate, and so forth?: A bit tired
